any chance you connected a scanner to it to pull the codes? Our 1995 E320 wagon had a similar problem and the code it was throwing was for the EGR valve. However there was a recall on the EGR tube that was too small from the factory, would plug up, throw error codes and in the final stages shut the car off. Major PITA to do, had the idiot monkeys at the dealership do it. They also said it needed the ICV but we opted not to do it and the larger EGR tube solved the problem.

It starts fine when cold - runs fine at low to high speeds. But after the engine warms up and I bring it to a stop - say at an intersection - the engine shuts off (won't idle) and is difficult to start up again. I usually have to crank it for 30-45 seconds before it starts reluctantly - but then runs fine again at low to higher speeds - until I bring it to a stop again. Then ... same problem. > Thanks, > les
