Just picked up this California clean car that doesn't roll. It starts with super low idle. If I try to step on gas peddle it dies. If I manually press down on air flow meter it idles fine. If I manually throttle and press down on air flow meter it revs fine. When cold I need to initially give it a lil bit starting fluid. If keep spraying it idles higher. I don't know if it's electrical

I checked following:

• checked fuel presser at prime and run at fuel distributor.
• vacuum leaks
• cam sensor
• cleaned and checked OVP valve.
• OVP relay fuse
• all other fuses

I would like to see if the MB community can point me in right direction to narrow down.

Have you checked the fuel filter?

Assuming this is the old KE-Jetronic fuel system have you checked the duty cycle at idle and at 2500 rpm.

Does it stall both when engine is cold and hot?

RobGT

Yes it does .

I will swap out and report back. I assumed the correct fuel pressure would cover this but I may be incorrect.
