W211 random stalling when slowing down

Hello,
so I’ve been facing this trouble for a year.
I have a 2005 e240
changed spark plugs, crank positioning sensor, fuel filter, map sensor. All from bosch.
none of the changed items fixed my problem.

by the way, this problem comes in the summer, seems to disappear in cooler weather.

the car stalls when slowing down to a hump or having to maneuver (only in slow speeds).

All the lights come up in the cluster, moving the gear from D to N and restarting the car will be fine. But the engine sounds sharper.

this gave me a headache cuz it stalls the everyday these days for several times

any ideas?

This place is a joke.
You've been guessing and then throwing time and money at the problem. Now you want people on the internet to make more guesses, so you can throw away more time and money?
Take it to a qualified repair shop for a proper diagnosis!

Thanks for your reply,
it’s pretty hard to find a good benz mechanic here. However, the best one here said that I’m required to change my whole engine.
My engine works perfectly and has all its power, the stalling is my only problem. pretty sure it’s something else

Get your fuel pressure checked. Inspect for vacuum leaks. Your E240 has a MAF sensor not a MAP sensor.

I'll do that thanks, checked some hoses that were dry and changed them recently. I might change all of the hoses to rest my mind.

Not sure if you're right about the sensors, I believe that I have both.
w211 MAF sensor

w211 MAP sensor
