Hi there!
I own a 1972 350SL (W107) which used to run beautifully, however I managed to overheat her due to a fluid leak. Luckily, the engine didn't seize and after a few months at the mechanic she was running smoothly again.
Except for one thing: once the engine gets warm it idles very low and cuts out. So whenever I come to a stop, be it in drive, neutral or park (she's an auto), the engine cuts out. Plus it doesn't do this for the first 10 or so minutes of driving.
I tried raising the idling revs, but that didn't help. So I don't know what to try next and thus I have come seeking the infinite wisdom of this forums members.
Any help would be appreciated and if I've left anything important out just ask.
Thanks!
