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.
Since you obviously know nothing about the car, choosing to be mad at it accomplished just as much as your tinkering. You are working on a simple Mercedes and blaming the car for your difficulties. Will you try brain surgery next?

Thanks.
Professional help doesn't mean you are less of a person. People do it all the time even when they know what they are doing. if I sound unsympathetic, its because I am. I fix cars for a living and even help a lot of people who don't know what they are doing. You will never catch me stating that this problem has this answer. You will find me describing the system so the one in need does know what he is doing. This post has no attempt to logically solve the problem. Replace a few parts, consult the crystal ball, and chuck the car.
