My wife's 1997 D 90 has had a hard starting problem for the past 4 years. 2,3 and 4 years ago the issue miraculously cured itself after a short time. She didn't have the problem for about 18 months. However, since February of this year it has been prevalent.
Early on she would just try starting it several times until it finally started.
The starter cranks strong.
This year I had her wait to hear the fuel pump kick on before continuing on with starting. Sometimes it would take 6 tries before you hear the pump kick on then it starts and runs just fine.
New Battery and fuel pump last month. The shop says there is power through the system to the pump and the grounds are good but the problem persists.
Anyone else have this problem or ideas of what is causing the hard start and the delay of the fuel pump kicking on?
Thanks
