I an '85 500 SEL that had a wonky control box- first, when it was a turn over but no-start, tapping the box would get a few firings. Pulled the box, re-soldered the pin-to-board mountings, and it fired up without problems. WARNING- the box was not really meant to be disassembled, and took some doing to get apart. Don't know long term results but it worked for me the three more weeks I had the car and drove it every day. There was something about getting 12MPG on premium that I didn't like, and this was 5 years ago!!
