96 C280 stalls on hot start

Hello:

I have searched for a similar post....no luck.

1996 C280 62,000mi US spec.

On cold start, fires right up, no problems. When it reaches normal temp, the engine starts ok, however, it stalls after about 5-10 seconds. It will start again quickly, but it will stall again unless it is rev up for a few seconds.

Took the car to my regular mechanic and he said it could be a relay. The car has been very reliable, only problems before was a faulty ignition coil. I recently changed the oil, filter and air filter.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
