Well I was out driving today and turned on the A.C. and everything worked perfectly.....Until I came home, let the car sit for about 2 hours and then it wouldn't start for about 5 turns...WTF could the problem be this time?
- Of course, I don't have the online manual anymore since I reformated the HD, so I'm downloading it again.

Assuming anything mechanical is not the problem, then you may have water vapor in your fuel system - especially after the rain and snows of the past weeks. Add some gasline drying agent to your fuel tank.
Everything works perfectly until I have the A.C. on. Then after I'm done driving with the A.C. it won't start for sh*t! I have some Iso-Heet right here actually, you think that should do the trick?
Wait, I was just thinking...Why would the car start perfectly when the air conditioner hasn't been run? Does the AC system connect up with the fuel system? I have no idea about A.C. so anyone probobly has a better idea then I do.

Okay.
The AC heats up the motor. Temperature is controlled by the forward auxiliary fan, but the heat the motor has to soak up is enormous with the AC operational. Any water in the fuel delivery system at the motor may evaporate and cause hard restarting.
This assumes all mechanical functions of the car are okay.
i feel you man, theres only two options either be an idiot and keep replacing parts and spend a lot of money or buy a nice Japanese car (they cheaper and easy to fix) or buy a newer Mercedes (no more diy projects). My 190 kept gettign fuc#ed up all the time so i got rid of it and bought a 2002 maxima and I love it more than my S55(first car and is totaled)

DUDE WTF? Do you smoke crack? Seriously? Nissan and Mercedes shouldn't even be in the same sentence unless it's "Damn, that kid in the Nissan just lost his ass to that Mercedes." I thoght you had an E55 BTW.
In any event, just keep on top of things before they go wrong and your all set.
