I had the same symptoms on my 2001 E320 - an occasional, single stumble at idle. The problem was somewhat correlated with wet/humid conditions.

Replacing the plug wires eliminated the occasional stumble.

I have a stumble under load that one mechanic said is plug wires and another said is fuel injectors . How do I differentiate between the two?
Car is a 93 400 SEL
