Rough Idle

MBtech, on my 2001 CL (5,500 miles) I just starting noticing a 'rough idle' problem that is intermittent. When stopped at red lights (vehicle in "D"), the rpm seems to like to stay around 500rpm or so.... A couple times the past few days I have felt what appears to be a rough idle like the rpm is dropping around 450rpm or so...

Is this a common problem with a simple fix or adjustment ? Or can there be other things I should look at ?

I have only seen one other 113 motor with a rough idle, and that was caused by a bad mass-airflow sensor. It was an S500 (Snoop Doggy Dogg's girlfriend's car actually), Is your Check Engine light on?

Nope... No check engine light... And again, it is only intermitent... Happened just a few times over the past coupe of days..... Most of the time it's perfect..... I'll have to watch it and if it persists take it in or wait till my A Service...
