W210 IDLES FUNNY

So heres the deal my car was idling funny in the mornings and when it warmed up it was ok. The Dealer told me its the plugs and wires which i bought from them. Cost me an arm a leg. I have not put the parts on the car yet. The problem went away for know and im trying to sell the plugs and wires since the dealer wont return them. I paid over 375 plus tax for them im asking $ 250. PM me if anyone is interested.

You don't need

new wires they hardly are ever the problem unless they are abused.
Plugs are $3 each at your local auto supply store.
You are lucky they did not do the labor and stick you with an unresolved issue and a $880 tab.
Look before you leap next time.

Yeah but when the dealer said that i need the parts, I just believed them. The idle problem went away. I dont know if it was bad gas or something.

Check the motor mounts but I don't know why it would have gotten better. Bad gas is a reasonable explanation.

Was there an extended period of time your car was unstarted?
I noticed start up idle issues sometimes if my car sat for 2-3 weeks without starting.
If that's the case, you can turn the key on without starting engine and turn off and do that a few times to get the fuel pump to pump up the gas to the engine.
Then start the engine.
