Warm start problem
The car will start right up but it will act as if it is being "choked", rmp's at 400 and no response to the gas pedal and it occasionally stales. After about 30 seconds the car will operate normally. This occurs after the car is warm and then shutting it off for 20 minutes or so. The car also idles rough when warm. I have already replaced the CPS, MAF, and EGR valve. I have run out of options. Please help. Thanks

My advice is don't flush your money down the toilet by blindly throwing parts at it, as it can be one of a myriad of components causing the problem. Invest $100 and take in to a dealership for diagnostic.

The repairs up to this point have been performed by Mercedes shops, I assume after diagnostic tests.
