Car Won't Start!! DD need help ASAP
I currently bought a 1990 300CE with 144k. For the month that ive had it, it runs very strong but on start up it takes about 2 tries to fire up. Then this morning went to start it up and it just cranks over and over, but no start up. 1/2 tank of gas, oil is full battery is good. Not sure where else to start. im new to the mercedes world, as you can see by my name i have a camaro sitting in the garage. Im used to working on american cars. Your guys help is very much appreciated.
