Question Starting/Idle problems on this forum...

Now, I am just curious but I have seen tons of people recently, including myself, post forums about W124's having starting problems, idle problems, battery problems, that all have to do with the starter or alternator or fuel pump getting started and that don't have to do with the engine itself.

Could all these problems be triggered by the cooling weather? I know not everyone's from Chicago, but I think its getting colder all over the nation.

Maybe, I'll start a poll, I havent done that yet ....

I live in San Diego and have had nothing but 73 degree weather here for the past 2 months and I have starting problems. This body style is just starting to see it problems.
