It is dangerous, causes you to lose trust in the car, and worst of all it makes you envy your neighbors driving the the ever reliable Toyota's and Honda's.....
Gee, the Honda I fixed last week with this problem was due to a shorted coil. Do you suppose he was envious of all the Fords and Chevies that still ran. Is it only Honda and Toyo owners that have sense enough to get professional help. Of course we didn't throw a bunch of parts at it, we tested it as if this was a science and only replaced the single defective part.

I think you should buy a Toyota and cut it in little pieces and feed it to your MB, maybe it could cause some gene therapy.
