Unhappy Quirky rough running -- 89 420SEL

Does anyone have an idea what would cause this car to run smoothly and with full power 2 or 3 days in a row, and then start with a rough idle that does not clear out --- and continuous rough running and missing that day, regardless of the engine temp? I know some one of the dozens of little parts on that engine is sticking or something when the rough running occurs, but cannot figure out what it is. The car is in mint condition, has 98K on it, good oil and gas, etc.etc. -- taken care of extremely well, but I need to find the cause for this errant behavior. Ideas anyone?? Thanks in advance.
