Hi,

I've tried to search before asking this/these questions and while I've seen some answers that were close, nothing was able to quite help me fix the problem.

Here are the symptoms: I start the car, sometimes it is a hard cold start (seldom a hard hot start), the runs fine (awesome throttle response by the way) until it reaches 'operating temperature' or roughly 80 on the temp gauge. Then shortly afterward, regardless of whether I'm under power or coasting/stopped, the car stalls. I can put it in neutral and almost always start it tight back up, sometimes it takes two times but it always starts right back up. I can drive for a little while longer and then it stalls again. This just started happening. At first, it was occasional now it happens ALL of the time. I noticed that the aux fan (the one in front of the radiator NEVER comes on (but then again, the temp never gets that high before it stalls). I've replaced the alternator, battery, spark plugs, dist. cap and rotor. I've become friednly with a local MB repair shop - Marina Benz - they say it's not fuel related. This seems true since I never have problem with the throttle (and most times it starts right up).

So, does anyone have any ideas on what to check next? Where to look (besides doing another search)? I've checked the connections on the 'cooling sensor' - they were bad but I cleaned them up and the above still happens.

I would really appreciate any help on this - thanks!
