    Question Start up issues. (HELP)

    I have a 2005 300c with start up issues. When I turn the key normally it takes 1-2 sec to start, but when it is acting up it takes about5-6 sec. This usually happens after a drive. The first start up of the day is always normal. I have taken it to the dealership 4 times. They replaced my throttle body, fuel pump unit, and purge valve. It has also been flashed.
    I hope this is the right place for this post. Has anybody experienced this if so what did you do? Please Help Me !!!!!!!!!

    Something hogging the CAN bus? Is it 100% stock? Aftermarket anything?

    does it happen after a short hot soak (5-10 minute shut down when engine is at operating temp)?

    sounds like a leaky fuel injector flooding a cylinder. they should perform a fuel pressure leakdown test to verify there is a leak. once all other possible causes have been eliminated, they'll need to remove the fuel rail and pressurize the injectors to determine which one is leaking.

    good luck.
