Starting Problems 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Tom on  Thu Nov 4 07:12 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I have a 1990 240 with a 5sp manual. I've been having some starting troubles over the past two weeks. About 60% of the time, the car cranks and cranks, and finally starts after about 5 seconds, but it's a rough start. I've also noticed a cloud of smoke when the car starts. After a minute, the car runs without problems.

The rest of the time, the car starts right away, but has a "flooding" sound and not a clean, crisp start.

I re-charged the battery, and cleaned the terminals.

Any suggestions?
