What model are we talking about?

And what is your idle speed, both in Drive and in Neutral? Sounds like it might be too high.

I agree with Ali and Chazola. Quote from the W124 owner's manual:

"For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights, leave the transmission in gear and hold vehicle with the service brake.

For longer stops with the engine idling, shift into 'N' or 'P.'"
