    make sure the o-ring under distributer cap is not worn. check to see if wet inside and any wear on the o-ring.

    Thanks. My mechanic in addition to changing the above parts had to change the idle control valve. No more rough riding and car is starting up and running tops.

    The cost to have the cold start valve replaced. Hard to start when cold and idles a little ruff.

  • Where is the cold start valve located? Does anyone have a photo?
    My parents 300E refuses to start when it's cold out. Looks like the valve isn't opening to let the fuel through to start but only when it's colder outside. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
