Well, I bought my oldest daughter a Benz for a graduation present. Now I just gotta get it running good before I can give it to her.

I've only had the car for <12 hours and here is what I've noticed.

When cold (first start) starts up and idles arounf 1700 RPM, then it drops to 1500 RPM, but as soon as you give it a little gas, the idle drops and she stalls, unless you keep pressure on the accelerator pedal.

Runs smoothly when it's running (with gas pedal depressed) coughs and sputters when not pressing on the gas pedal. Also noticed the drivers door lock vacuum pod is leaking, not sure if it's tied to the engine vacuum or not.

Haven't checked anything (like plugs) but I noticed the spark plug wires are hard and not flexible, guess those are area's I should start (plugs and wires)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I will keep this thread alive with updates and new questions.
