I have a 240 with 218K miles on it. In the mornings, particularly when it's cold, it takes forever to get it started. The "check engine light" was on and I took it to the repair shop. They replaced the coolant temperature sensor and told me I also needed to replace the O2 sensor which I did. I still have the same problem. Another shop traced the problem to the MAF sensor and replaced it...another chunk of $$$. I still cannot get the car to start in the am without spraying starter fluid into the intake. Once its running there are no problems. The mechanic said the fuel pump was fine. HELP!!! I don't know what to try next. My son bought this car and really wants to keep it but I'm not sure :? :?
