So, I'm new to MB, and to the forum. Bought my first Benz, an 89 300E with 130k miles. In great shape aesthetically (perfect paint / interior), and seems to run strong. I've had it for a month.

Anyway, all of a sudden today, the car stalled, then wouldn't run. I took a quick drive from home to the highway (2 miles), then 3 miles on the highway. While waiting for the light to turn on the exit ramp, the car stumbled a bit, then stalled. It would re-crank, but once dropping it in D it'd stall again. Would idle okay in P, and idle/rev fine in N, but stall right away in D. Fortunately my wife was behind me, and drove me the rest of the way to our destination. An hour later, I came back, and the car started fine. I drove to work (about 5 miles), and it idled fine in the parking lot at work. Drive home, started a bit rough, but made it home okay. However, the ABS light was on. Idled again at home for a bit okay. A few hours later I started her back up, and everything seemed back to normal (no ABS light).

I'm concerned, as I don't want to ignore a problem, and it makes me nervous, as I bought this car to transport my young kids (my other car is an RX7), and I don't want to end up stalled on a highway with an 19 month old and a 2 month old...

Ideas?

Otherwise, I am LOVING my car... :-)
