Hey everyone,

My fairly low mileage (53,000miles) 99 C230 has gotten a problem lately. When starting her up (overnight or few days cold) it hesitates badly for about 4-6 seconds, almost wanting to stall but never did. Once it gets going it idles perfectly and is good the rest of the day. This mostly happens now if the car sits for a whole day or more. I also noticed very very slight shake or "twitching" in the engines idle when in P and fully warmed up.

I was thinking its time for the fuel filter to be done but read it doesnt cure the problem. MAS I done 5,000 miles ago and spark plugs by previous owner at the MB dealer 12,000 miles ago as marked in the book.

Any ideas on the kompressor engine as the cause? Please help out guys....much thanks.
