It also sounds like your fuel injectors are on their way based on the start issues. How many miles are on this car? Once the fuel injectors get old they don't hold the 50 lbs of pressure they should to give you near instantaneous starting, instead they leak the fuel down into the cylinder giving you an Exteremly rich situation under start up. Depressing the accelerator introduces a enough air to balence the situation out and poof..you start.

MB rates their injectors with a life of about 100K.

Hope that Helps!
