The engine stopped. The engine retarted but with a distinct rough idle. Increasing the gas pedal pressure was responded by the engine with increased but fluctuating rpms. I could drive the vehicle home. After restarting the vehicle a day or more later it ran normal. However, subsequently I made an appointment with the mercedes dealer in tampa and they brought in a retired mechanic who connected a diagnostic computer to the vehicle. He showed me in the shop the signal fluctuations, in what was explained to me, of the fuel mixture system. I inquired about a repair and was told that due to the age of the car it could not be done by mercedes anymore. The mechanic mentioned that in the past, there were independent shops that would do repairs of the affected items but he could not give me a name or contact. The vehicle is still operational, shows occasional recurrence of the problems, particularly during inclement weather. I keep my fingers crossed that I will be able to use the vehicle as originally intended.
