Re: [MBZ] hard to start "cold"

George,
I don't remember if there was a thermostat-controlled flap in the air
snorkel on your car or not.  If so, it may not be open.  I agree with Peter
that it sounds like a new air filter, but you might be able to verify by
reading vacuum from a port above the throttle plates, with air cleaner on
and off.
