Just spoke to a Mercedes tech about my cars issues....

And he said for me to call back Tuesday and he will see if he can work me in on Thursday. I explained all of my issues and at first he mentioned something (like a sensor or something - he was talking fast) and said it was very expensive to replace. He also said that I should not use platinum plugs on that car around here. I do not recall what I replaced them with 2000 miles ago, but I know that they were Bosch.

He also said it could be the injector seals causing it.... we will see.

It will be going next week to see what is going on. If its something cheap/simple, I will get them to fix it and keep on driving it. If not and its something complex/expensive, I will likely junk it out. I was only keeping it because it offered much better MPGs than my truck when it was getting 21 mpg in the city, but then it dropped to 14 mpg and now 12 mpg. Its getting worse and worse.

I will post the results later. Thanks to all for the advice over these past few weeks.
