On start ups after a few stops, ABS light comes on first...car usually idles fine with ABS light on....ABS usually goes out after a bit and then CE light comes on causing stalling and then engine will usually quit. This condition worsens as the car gets hotter.

The ABS light may in fact indicate an ABS problem. When the car fists starts and is driven to a stop sign or signal light, the brake pedal will pulsate coming to that first "cold" stop. Very possible that something is wrong with the sensor(s). I heavent checked the barke discs for warpage, but, it feels like it is an ABS issue.

I replaced the OVP, hoping for the best, but both conditions remain. Sometimes the car will go at a good clip without either light coming on...but usually, the ABS light comes on, followed a few minutes after by the stalling/CE light condition.

Any ideas on this one????????? I'm losing patience.

I'm thinking I need to rid myself of this car. This will probably be my first and LAST MB.

Should I just splurge $130 for the MB dealership diagnostics test and proceed from there???

Thanks.
