I just got back from my MB mechanic #3 and he said that he thinks it is the cap and rotors. He said they were a little "crusty" and cleaned them up for now, but said I should replace them. They are only about 2 or 3 years old, but he said these cars were hard on these things. I have a couple of good used ones, I may try those. Even before the car hasnt stalled on me and has been running well, so not sure what was going on before I parked it all of those months, but it seems to have cleared itself up.

He replaced the CEL bulb, someone had put in the wrong bulb. He pulled old codes (there were several) and cleared everything out. No codes showing now. He said overall the car was solid, no major issues. The radio turning off by itself and going on when the left signal was turned on was an issue he thinks was caused by the battery cables not being properly tightened. The engine harness (main) was indeed replaced and no apparent issues with the others. The other problems noted was he things a couple of shifter bushings are bad - will replace for $36 parts and labor and he said the clutch fan was getting weak. He had it idling and put his hand in it to stop it and was able to. This is pricey - he said around $585.00. Parts were like $500, labor around $85, but surely I can find a fan cheaper than this? I thought I had bad engine mounts, but he said he didnt think mine were bad enough to worry about right now... if I did want to replace them however it would be $825, parts/labor for both mounts, including parts/labor for the transmission mount. Not sure what to do at this point - I may end up selling/trading the car, but need to make sure it is running good for now.

Thanks for all of the advise throughout this thread.
