Thanks Oldsinner! I think it has a new coil(s).

I ended up taking it to another local shop and here is the update. I am rather frustrated. Four days passed and they never called, so we finally called on Thursday for update and the mechanic said he could find nothing wrong. He said at first he let it run for hours and drove it all over and it started back and ran fine everytime. He said since he really didn't do anything he was only going to charge $35. Well I thought that was too much. He did said that the oil leak (smell I was smelling) was from the valve cover gasket that is LESS than 2 years old, so that is frustrating. Makes me wonder if that shop actually replaced the valve cover gaskets.

Well I went and got the car today (mechanic shop was closed), but the sales department was open, so he gave me the key and said there was no charge that he only spent 35 minutes on it. Well that was strange. Also he told my mom when she called for me (I was busy at work and tied up all that day), he told her that he couldn't find anything wrong with it and even if he did he probably didn't have the tools to repair it and the car was so old, he didn't have the computer to check it? This is a place that specializes in German cars and they cannot work on a '93 Mercedes? They are also supposedly ASE certified. He told me before I took it that he could check it, so I am a little frustrated. I will never go back there and I will never recommend them to anyone. They apparently didn't know what was wrong with it and didn't want to mess with it.

Well I drove the car home (about 17 miles) and it ran like a brand new car. I got home and it restarted everytime and ran like new. I am honestly not sure what is going on, but the other day I couldn't even get the car to run good enough to get it to the lower part of the driveway.

I have an appointment with another MB mechanic on April 2, so hopefully he can figure something out.

Oldsinner, I remember you are fairly local to me - Do you know of any good Mercedes mechanics in the area? Benz Doctor in Bloomingdale is an awesome MB mechanic, but he is always booked up and backed up. He can check my car on April 2nd.
