Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could help my '76 280E? She starts and runs like a dream most of the time, but occasionally, after she has been stopped and started continuously, she runs rough and won't idle. This only it seems to happen when the engine is warm. To over come it I must keep the accelerator slightly depressed, I can hear the engine is running slightly rough, then after about 30-60 seconds it seems to clear and all is normal again. All the usual engine services were recently done (problem existed before then anyway). Can anyone suggest anything that might cause this.

Cheers :)
