I have been fighting a cold start problem on my 240 since I got it just over a year ago. The problem is when the car is cold it doesn't drive smoothly for about the first mile of driving and worse when it is colder. After about a mile, it runs normal. It feels like it is choking and just will not go and jurks around a lot. Last summer in attempt to fix it I took it to the dealer a lot of times and had several things done. Nothing has fixed it and it is getting worse again.

I had a new air mass meter put in, a new thermostate for the air intake, fixed some cracked air housing. I also replaced the fuel filter, and put new wires on it.

I think it might have to do with the fuel delivery or something like that.

Any ideas on what is causing this problems and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!! I really want to fix this problem.
