HI all, Im hoping someone can help me with two problems. I have a '93 SL500 73K on the clock.
First problem: No matter if the car is hot or cold it takes about ten seconds to start. Always starts smooth and always about the same time. Only time it starts quicker is if i turn it off and start it straight away again.

Second problem: The car surges in idle and has stalled on me a couple of times in traffic. seems to run a little smoother when cold but the moment she warms up she surges. Surging seems to disappear at about 1800rpm.

any help would be appreciated, been to two people already and just by the look on their faces i can tell they are guesing. Handy enough with a tool box but a little lacking on the electrical side of things.

Please anyone????
