[S210|1996] Mercedes E200 engine trouble. Stops in gear & idle [Video]

[SimenM]

Hello.

I have a E200 which I am fairly happy with. However it has a problem thats been bugging me alot lately.

The car is start/stopping during "Park" or "Neutral" before it stops compleetly, and when im in traffic and standing still in "drive" or one of the gears, it randomly stops. (same in Reverse.

Please take a look at the video below before you post a suggestion :]


I suspect crankshaft sensor and/or camshaft sensor. HOWEVER when I took it to diagnostics it only showed one error, which was "airflow meter". I think the diagnostics tool was a universal one and not one spesificly for Mercedes.
As seen in the video below, I don't think the airflow meter can cause this kind of problem :\ atleast not alone.

The car has run 207 000KM or 129 miles.


Thank you for reading this, im kind of clueless as this is my first mercedes.

How do I clean it? Do I dissassembly it and clean it like you do with a gasket?
