Yep - Last week I posted about how I had neglected a cold start problem on my '83 245gl... the car ended up only running on limp home mode. I took the advice of my fellow bricksters - inspected the engine wiring - sure enough, crumbling insulation! I replaced all fualty engine wires with wires of coresponding guages from good old Home Depot - $22 (including zip-ties)

Cold start Problem Solved!! thanks guys!

New problem: During the first 5-10 minutes of driving after a cold start, sometimes the engine loses power (not dieing...) then I hear a loud "CLICK" or possible a "POP" from the engine bay.... throttle switch? Anyway, shortly after the click/pop, I get power again... any ideas?

THanks again!! You guys Rock!
