these cars have pretty much done it since new i think. my 84 500sec does it under certain circumstances. i changed lots of stuff. dist cap, wires, and a fuel injector, etc etc etc. no change. it hasnt gotten worse either. so if i am going into the vp to buy a paper, i just dont turn it off. then i seldom have a problem. also i always crack the throttle when starting. and old mb mechanic suggested that. it is a 100% improvemnt. better than any of the things i spent good money to do.
