No offence but that made no sense at all.

Do you mean the RPMs are high when he starts it up? Cold start?

The car has been sitting for a month or so...

We have noticed that on cold start up, the pump rising the car to high from the ground. So we thought maybe it’s airmatic control unit problem.

You need to go to dealer or Benz repair shop, they will runing the airmatic check for you, and you will see the car dance, each coner will rise and go down Or try to do the battery reset process(disconect the battery and reconect). I will try this first to see if the problem fix.
