I tackled my cold start problem and failed

What year is your B230F? And yes, I agree with Klaus, if your oil smells more like gas than oil, change it before you proceed any further. Next, if you were having a problem with too little fuel on cold start, and that is "usually" the problem, why would your oil smell like gas? It wouldn't! Fuelish oil is indicative of a too rich mixture, or a too weak spark problem. You may have more than one problem...but, for now, change the oil, and pull your plugs...are the wet and black (too rich) or white (too lean).

I've never rebuilt injectors on an LH car; never had a problem with them. Were yours leaking?

I know I offered no concrete assistance, and for that I am sorry, but I need a little more background...
