Well, here is the details. I have been able to nail down a repeatable condition.

When the car sets over night or a long time it has a good chance to start, but if it does not get a solid start and it stalls then it is highly unlikely that it will start, until it sits for a while. A while can be 10 min or 10 hours. For the most part it starts after 1-2 hours. Once Started it runs fine.

I have bought the Mercedes CD, but I have not been able to nail down the infor that I need to trouble shoot, and I do not have more than a VOM to trouble shoot.

After Reading a few posts on hard starting, I have to clarify that I have been using the slight accelerator method for starting, but if the car tries to start, but does not make it, I'm stuck for a while. I did replace the spark plugs, and I can say it seems to happen more when it is warmed up.

So if anyone can provide any basic directions to check or common problems that may occur with these models, that would be great.

Thanks for any help you can provide,
