CLK 430 Idle
My 01 430 has an occassional rough idle when in park with a/c off at operating temp. If car is in gear and or if the ac is on the idle is much better. My dealer has checked for codes and found none and has told me that the 99+ v8's have this quality due to a very lean idle and when the car is in gear or with ac on the mixture becomes richer and therefore improves the idle.
I would appreciate the MB Tech's feedback and others as I don't recall this problem on the other CLK's I've owned and although the explanation seems logical the problem just does not seem right.
Thanks
