2000 SL500 engine miss
I have a slight engine miss at idle. Only 38,000 on the car. No issues at part or full throttle, only at idle around 600 rpm. Any idea on how to diagnose this or should I just start throwing parts at it?

Acquire a Star Diagnosis diagnostic system (SDS) or take the car to an independent shop that has one. An SDS should quickly show which cylinder has the misfire and can determine if the issue is spark or fuel.
