Ml 350 bluetec
Idel problem

Today I was leaving the drive way and the ml 350 blue tec started to idle real bad . At one point I thought it was going to quit , I put it in N and the Gage's started to go crazy . The B service is due and it is 100kilometers over due. It doesn't make since to me that the car would do this because of the service needed. If you were on a trip and there was no dealer around wtf would you do. Any help would be great. Thanks

Seems unlikely to be due to the fact that you're 50 miles overdue for routine service.Sounds like a trip to the dealer is in order.

that is not the problem...lol. The ML does not go nuts when a service is due. If it keeps doing it, I agree, bring to a mechanic.

Did it trip the check engine light? That would pin point the issue.
If not, and it is still doing it, you may have some bad fuel from your last fill up?
