After my '06 Element had been sitting with a stone-dead battery, the idle was all over the place for a good while. I think the computer has to "re-learn" how to hold a smooth idle. Maybe something similar? Just needs a good battery and drive it for a few hours. On Sat, Jan 15, 2022, at 8:44

Fair deal. If you have clay it's less apt to beat the snot out of you than a front tine tiller. From: Mercedes on behalf of Allan Streib via Mercedes Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2022 7:29 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Cc: Allan Streib Subject: [MBZ]
