300se Diffcult to get started

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone that can advice me on this problem. It always happen after you switch off the car for a period of about 15 mins and if you want to get it started, it takes about 2 cranks and once it is started, the car vibrates like it is choking for air.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance

how many miles are on the car? Have the injectors or FP accumulator ever been replaced?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for the advice. Car has about 180000km which is about 110000miles on the road. Have not changed injectors before. As for the FP accumulator. have no idea where is it located. Would appreciate some guidance from you.

Thanks
Max
