Re: [diesel_mercedes] No Cold Start Again

 

I started my #2-240 the other day, my automatic, which is my second in line 240. It had sat from last summer, never gets driven, sat tru zero degree temps, when it warmed up to 32 one day I started it and to my surprise it started on the first pop. Somebody could buy a excellent running car here. This one starts better than my #1 240 with the 4-spd. Max

O.K. ;


So , you cycle the glow plugs then hold the throttle to the floor and operate the starter , it turns over O.K. , not sluggishly but never coughs ?  no black puffs from the exhaust ? .


Or , does it s l o w l y crank over like it's a 6 volt ? .


Or . do you only hold onto the starter for a few moments then stop because you're worried about overheating the starter ? .


Is the clear plastic intake screen full of bluish fuel or black coffee looking stuff or tiny chinks of miniature coal ? .


You _DO_ have a clear plastic intake screen , right ?  _RIGHT_ ?! .


I know there's an answer in there somewhere , we just have to keep picking away at the details until we find it .


If you have electricity anywhere near the car , put an old tech hair dryer blowing warm/hot air into the air intake ducts .


Me , I'da dumped in the entire bottle of Diesel Kleen while it was running then after a good 30 minutes , I'da driven it to fill the fuel tank with fresh Diesel Fuel .

At about 4 o'clock today when it was about 55 degrees in the garage it started up again and it has been running since. I didn't put the white bottle of diesel kleen last time and it was down below a quarter tank. When it stoped running it was about 20 degrees and had been sitting in 20 degree weather for about 6 hours. I don't know if this is another example of diesel fuel gelling or freezing or something but it is running now.

I had tried the red bottle diesel 911 but it didn't do any good. I also had put diesel heat in the tank before this happened. I hope I didn't cause any damage.

Thank you thank you for your help.
