Sluggishsssssssss 1986 300e
I just had the trans overhauld and Kickdowns adjusted so that is all done
But in the morning when I start the car she respond quick and good one trun of the key and she is up and running
A s soon as I drive her for at least 2 hours or so two things seem to happen
1. if i shut the car down when i get back in and start her I have to hold the key in place until she starts up its not like in the morning one turn now she wants me to wait while she cranks and eventually starts ?
2.she also gets really sluggish the accelarator pedal gets really heavy and she seems to drag almost like she is tired or been blocked it becomes sort of a (lets go baby go on lets move situation)

First of all you need to work on your sentence formation. It was difficult to understand what you were saying, but I think I figured it out.
If the fuel injectors are old and worn, they get "sluggish" when hot. With the engine running spray brake cleaner fluid on the injector seals. If the engine stutters there is a leak in the injector seal and it needs to be replaced. You might as well replace the injectors concurrently.

Where exactly is the injector seals
I think you may be correct because I had the car sit for 4 months
and when I started her up I had to put in fresh gas and add injector cleaning fluid since she was shutting down on me in mid traffic
Now she doesnt shut off any more but she has a hard time running(sluggish)
PS thank you for all your help
