It is a normal process for it to show but disappears after it starts Other than Mercedes all the so-call certified mercedes shops will not look at it. The stalls are getting longer whereas it takes longer to restart. This problem from December had stopped in early Jan. but is now starting again. Majority of the time the car stops when I am hardly moving,just shutters and stops. Any thoughts on whether this is a Harness or K-40 relay problem.

I don't believe the 96 model had the same harness problem that the earlier years did, and from a standpoint of cost and labor, the K-40 relay would be my first choice. Many of the issues you write about can be caused by a failing K-40 relay, so I think it would be worth a shot to replace it and see what happens. Good luck...
