Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, because I would have ruled out the OVP...oh well you dodged a potential headache in the future, as the OVP causes "hot start" problems and rough idle issues.

Jackd is correct in telling you to look at the ignition system. Damp weather does indeed play a factor in problems in this area. I would put my money on the ignition coil(s). I don't remember when MB changed the configuration, but you either have one, or three.
