I have a 1995 e320 that has a slight misfire at idle. It has become more consistent lately and you can lessen its occurrence if you put the car in park or neutral while you are sitting at a light. The car runs fine. No hiccups or other symptoms. This is only when you are sitting at a light and it is like the engine is skipping a beat every minute or so.

My first thought is coils. The coils have been replaced a couple of years ago and the infamous wiring harness was replaced about the same time. The plugs are exactly what my mechanic recommended, though I cannot remember the exact plug id.

Any usual suspects I should round up?

Thanks very much,

After exact symptoms as yours...I just replaced the number 1 coil on my 95, last one lasted 10 years or so and runs great now. It was "Going" bad...the miss steadily got worse and was traced to the coil.
Good luck
