My S124 is suffering from an intermittent surging at idle when in D/3/2/R; sometimes it'll settle nicely on 750rpm, other times it'll pump from 500 to 1200 and back, or higher if I put the shifter in N/P. When it's surging, sometimes revving past 3k will fix it, other times it'll keep doing it. Usually it won't affect driving, but if I'm doing some low speed manoeuvres, into a parking space for example, it'll very rarely stall out - only twice has this ever happened.
Should I check the engine bay wiring loom for degradation as mentioned in the sticky, could it be a vacuum/air leak, or is there any other suggestions? I have my own spanners, a Haynes manual, and a pet (non-MB) mechanic if it gets really technical.
