you can rule out your wires by swapping them left to right sides, but thats not going to change it either, your problem will still be on the right side. Myself, I'd go the route of the vac leak first.
on a rare occaision I've had the crank sensor cause a problem similar to this, but I only had it on one cylinder when I would get on it hard (on an ML320). it drove me nuts trying to trace it.

Vacuum leak huh??? hmmmm, seems as though I remember from an initial inspection I had done on the car from my local MB dealer, that there was a hose somewhere on the intake duct that needed to be replaced. I asked them if it needed to be replaced at that time but they said it could wait a while. I wonder which hose they were talking about. Thanks for the idea John, you just made me remember that the dealer did note an intake hose that needed replacement.....I'll have to go out once it warms up a bit and do some more looking. I'll be sure to report back after I look her over.
Thanks everyone for the ideas so far and for your help. I wouldn't have been able to get this far without you all.
