Ok ! Sounds like you might have the same problem I had! I changed both dist caps and rotors treated it to a new set of plugs ! Problem solved! Not saying for sure thats whats wrong with the car! but if it has the orig caps and rotors it could be!!!A DIY job to replace![:(!][:(!]Mine had the CEL come on for the owner the day he sold it to me ! Brought it home disconnected the bat term for about 10 min and it killed the light! Make sure if you do that you have the radio code if its got the MB radio![:0]But if you got that car with that milage on it for $5700 you stole it! I always fig when buying a used car no matter how good things look budget at least $500 for the small things that might have to be done![:0][:0] And again congrats on yer new ride![;)][;)]If like most E420 drivers gonna be a long hard time gettin that grin off yer kisser!!![:D][:D][:D]
