Cold start problem

Hi again,

Well, i'm almost giving up on my 1997 C36 but I give it a shot before I sell her.

On cold starts, the car takes a few turns to start and when it does, the idles gos to like 1200 rpm (normal since it's a cold start) but for a slpit second all the lights dim. Then quickly the idle settles to 800 or so and a few seconds after that it does down to 650 or so.

As well, when i accelerate, I hear a whirring sound from the engine but after it warms up a bit the whirring gooes away. NO check eingine codes and I still haven't solved mt previous problems.

My mech said it's the throttle actuator.

I changed the plugs and the iginition wires, not the coil ones, was freyed and broken and one had orange rust loooking stuff on it. I didn't change them as the MB parts shop was closed. The mechanic said they are fine and not to worry about them.
any ideas?

thank you
rocky
