Good day, i am a newbie here seeking assistance/ guidance from those of you who have knowledge on the subject.

I have a 2004 MB SLK320 with approximately 70K miles on it.

Here's the issue. When I start the vehicle and allow it to idle / warm up before driving, the vehicle shuts off. When I attempt to start after that nothing happens.

I attached a Battery Tender to the Battery, and it showed that the Battery was low and needed charging. (Battery Tender LED was red)

After charging to the point that the Battery Tender indicated ready (Green LED) I disconnected the Battery tender and started the vehicle up. Vehicle idled for approximately 5 minutes or so, then shut off again.

I again hooked the Battery Tender up, and i got the same results as mentioned above...

Now, i can understand a vehicle not starting because of a bad Battery, but the vehicle does start, so what would cause it to shut down after a couple of minutes?

Any and all assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
