Hi. I have a 1988 w126 300 Se.
i work at sea so i let my car stand unstarted for a month at a time. usually it's no problem, but 3-4 times during this year it has been very shaky when i run the engine, and it seems like one nozzle stops on one cylinder. I only need to stop and start it a few times before it works again.
What can be the problem and how do i fix it?
 
Sounds like you have condensation inside the distributor cap- classic symptoms for acar standing around for a while.. Try drying the whole of the distributor [ cap +rotor+ body] out with a hair drier.
 
Superb! Then I have at least one thing to start with when i get home:)
Thanks:)
