My 92 500e runs perfect! It has 80,000 miles and I have done very little to it aside from maintenance, AC system, ventilation fans, and rear suspension mods for camber adjustment.
Three times now I have taken the car out after a month or two of two of not running. Starts right up ! Drive it to my house, runs perfect, park it! No problem…. Half an hour later I start it up and either does not start or burbles and a few meek back fires and stalls! The cat gets loaded up with back fires and I can smell it. I do this for ten minutes and play with air intake and pumping a little extra gas and finally it idles barely! Trying not to push it I wait and restart and finally get a steady idle! Wait five minutes and it runs like new!
I know it’s a sensor issue or maybe TPS! But I’m am not a merc expert rather bmw! Suggestions from you geniuses out there? I want to test a system but need a little bit of guidance… thank you!
