That was my first thought too. I had erratic stalling problems with my 88 300ce M103 until it finally quit. Dealer installed new FPR. Problem solved for about 4 years.
Started stalling erratically again about 5 years ago. Dealer replaced ignition wires, rotor & coil & it's been running fine ever since. So, go figure. Same symptoms; different causes.
If it regularly starts but quits immediately, could also be a clogged filter in the line maybe? Hope it's not the fuel distributor. That's a pricey part. I had a rough idle when I first bought the car and the dealer switched the fuel distributor with one from a yard 190E2.6. He told me I'd eventually have to replace it. That was 16 years ago. Knock on wood.
