2004 SL500 Suddenly Started Idling Poorly......
2004 SL500 started idling very poorly after being parked for about a month and half. Was running perfectly before this... car runs fine on the road, only when stop and idling does it acts up. What is the cause of this?

Any suggestions or thoughts?

Hmm, i had a similar issue that was solved when i changed my crankshaft position sensor... mine definitely wasn't that bad though. It hasn't been sitting for too long but first thing i would try is unplugging both batteries and letting it sit for a night, then maybe a fresh tank of gas and an air filter check.

sounds like airplane
I've got about the same thing going on with my car right now too- I "think" it's due to sticky TB/Idle control stuff. Mine was sitting as well- since the 2006 motor wasn't in the car and the car hadn't been running.
