Last week had new rear brakes pads installed on 1987 300E. Since then, intermittent ABS light on dash. When ABS light is lit, car has a cold start problem that can only be overcome by leaving foot halfway down on accelerator pedal. Can these two things be related???? The car drives and stops fine ..

My GP will catch when I try to start it, but as soon as I crack the throttle, it bogs down and dies. I've rebuilt and readjusted the carb (E4ME Quadrabubble), checked all the hoses and gaskets for for leaks, none to be found. Once warm, engine is still sluggish, feels like a float or accel pump pr..

All of a sudden, when I start my A Class from cold, it starts ok but then stalls within a few seconds and continues to do so until warm, but even then when pulling away it is no longer as responsive as it was. It has been in to two Mercedes dealers who say it is not registering any fault codes an..

Symptoms: When left overnight engine off, followed by cool/cold weather the following morning: The engine starts right away as it should. But, it chugs and sputters, if you will, until the cold start cycle is complete some 30 seconds or more later. Then runs fine. Did the drip test on the co..

My Nissan has been having problems starting. The lower the ambient temp, the harder the start. Once it runs, it's OK until the engine is cold again. It takes me about 2-3 minutes to start it when it is 30F out. Crank for 10 seconds. Wait 15 seconds. Repeat. I noticed during the summer that it had..
