As title states. I'm new to this forum and not really sure about the 2.6 engine as its the first I've owned. The car hesitates to start sometimes and needs a little encouragement from the throttle to fire up. When it does it sounds beautiful. No knocks, misfires or rattles As it gets hot after around 20 minutes it starts getting very lumpy and missing. Any advice welcome. |

First place to look - distributor cap. Classic symptoms of one that needs replacing. If it does, only use genuine new M-B parts. Been there! Good luck. |

Also replace the rotor arm at the same time. |
