[W126 Coupe] Re: Fuel problems

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Oh, I thought you were still running the old injectors for some
reason.  That little computer is your EHA, which isn't really much of
a computer, but that's neither here not there..  Anyway, try
tightening the screws (or hex on later ones) that hold that bugger on.
 If it still leaks you need new o-rings.  I'm not entirely sure how
the starting circuit works, but I do know that it is a closed loop
affair in that it has it's own map separate from everything else.
Do you have any means of warming up your garage?  Kerosene heater,
space heater, something..?   Check your plugs and see if they're wet
after cranking..let me know.
