Thanks. I think you may have misunderstood me. lol. I do not press it before I start it. I meant after I start it, I would sometime depress the pedal (aka racing the engine slightly) to hopefully think it would smooth out sooner. Yeah, I have two carburated cars that require "pumping" the pedal, but you are right- my MB is not one of them.

Yeah, my car has a 3.8L V8. Thanks!
