The cold start valve could be checked by scraping the feed wires for a 12v input when the engine is cold. Use a tester for this. Put on the key to start for a half second. If there's no 12 v in the wires, remove the cold start valve and position it onto a container of gas. Aim a jumper wire from the battery positive line but do not touch it yet to the exposed wires leading to the valve and have somebody crank the engine for half a second, at the same time, touching the wire to the battery. Gas should squirt out. If no gas comes out, the coil is bad. Replace the valve. If gas comes out, the coil of the valve is good, but the thermo-sensor is bad. Replace the thermo sensor. It is normally found screwed into the engine block and the feed wires of the valve comes from it. -rogue1man@Yahoo.com
Make sure the cold start valve is working properly and not seized up.
Yes the reason for that is because the engine is over heated and when its cold the engine is nice and cold perfect for starting conditions.
May be (probably) the cold start valve. I'm not sure how to check it to see if that's the problem. They are expensive even if purchased aftermarket. Good luck!
check the heater control valve it should be 10 ohms of resistance
Most diesel engines are hard to start when it is cold. Plugging the diesel engine block heater in will help the engine start.
No, it won't
Does the engine turn over but not start or it does not turn over till cold? If the latter is the answer then your kick start is the problem. REPLY The car turns over but wont start.
The 1985 Mercedes 190e could have a stuck choke. Check the choke mechanisms to start with, to see if that's the problem.
Because it is winter, it is cold and you have a diesel engine. They use glow plugs to help ignite diesel in cold weather. Have the glow plugs checked.
check the choke maybe it's not working.
When ur hot and ur working then it is hot working, if ur cold and ur working then it is cold working
Remove the Air cleaner completely and you will see the Cold Start Valve underneath with the wiring plug attached to it. You can instantly recognize this valve from the Allen Key screws that bolt it on to the manifold. John T
