    Idle Problem, revs rise and fall SLK350 R171

    SLK Cutting Out

    My 99 SLK 230K auto has developed an occasional cutting out problem. First time was last night. Reversing into a parking bay and it died (on hot engine after 10 mile run). Span over on the starter very healthily but no sign of firing. Tried it quite a few times then left it for ten mins...
