Catalytic converter is clogged basically its stopping up your exhaust. Over time the pressure will slowly vent out, allowing your car to start, only to build up the backpressure again, stalling engine.

    Hi Ted, this answer is very helpful and makes sense. How do you suggest I fix it? The car was fitted with a stainless steel exhaust a few years ago, but not sure if it is related to the change.

SOURCE: i want to know how to take the interior door

On the inside trim, you can remove screws (these screws may be covered by filler pieces or may be visible, or they may require you pry a plastic piece off that covers the screws) that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls.

1986 merceded 560 sel

I think there is a sensor in the shifter to make sure the car is only started when in park or neutral. It will stop the car from starting in gear. That sensor sounds broken to me.

How to remove a drive belt from my mercedes 560 sel 1989 I am trying to change my alternator belt, because it is broken and I need to remove the drive belt first

Not familiar with your Merc. This is general info. My porsche has a mecanical belt tensioner down low under the engine off the ground. Toyota has a spring charged piston pushing a belt tensioner wheel. Most other cars I've worked on had a pivoting alternator. If your car has a flat serpentive belt then it probaly has a spring loaded tensioner. If it has Vee belts then something sets the tension mechanically at install. Good luck!
