Are the batteries in properly? Are the battery connections clean? Do any of the other functions on the FOB work? This might be one for a Mercedes dealer. A phone call to one could generate a little customer PR with a simple solution!!

SOURCE: mercedes e230 1998. cold starting.

Mercedes has a cold start valve to spray extra fuel to assist the ignition when the temperature is cold. This is the problem with the cold start valve is not opened when it needed. There are 2 possible causes: 1- The valve is bad. 2- The coolant temperature sensor is bad.
The valve part is expensive and labor is not cheap. The first economic way to address is to replace the coolant temperature sensor. This sensor gives a different resistance reading as temperature changed. When it is bad, it give an erratic reading at cold temperature so the ECM could not recognize to give a signal to open the Cold start valve.

I have a mazda etude 2003 model. It jerk around. Replaced the coulpacks, coils and the petrl pump. Still jerks around. Can only bearly drive in first gear. When the enjin is cold it goes to 5th gear...

believe what you are describing is a plugged catalytic converter / exhaust. The converter could be plugging up when getting warm, then working again once it cools down. Check your exhaust when you start it cold and see if it becomes restricted after warming up. You can also read the temp. on the exhaust before the converter and after the converter to see if it's plugged.

Transmission problem in E230 Benz

What you need to check is the transmission release bearing because if there is a clearance on the release bearing you will encounter this problem and also check the transmission oil.

Transmission slow to go into first gear unless auto is warmed up

change fluid & filter. no dipstick, sealed tranny. can remove both pans from underneath to access filter.

It is a GM 4L30E trans. used on Isuzu Rodeo and Cadillac Catera. BMW, in their inifinite wisdom, markets it as lifetime fluid. The second biggest bunch of **** advertising that ever was. Heat and friction will wear out ANY fluid!

BTW, it will delay shifting into highest gear when cold. this is normal

Auto Gear problem of VW Passat

I think that the automatic transmission fluid is at a low level?
When its cold the oil will be still stuck to gears, but after is warms it flows off.
