Default Intermittent Starting Problem

<FONT face=Arial size=2>My 1997 C230 has an intermittent starting problem and of course it started and ranfine when twice brought to the dealer. When stranded, I have been able to start the car after repeatedly spraying choke cleaner into the throttle body. It takes about ten times going between the engine to spray the cleanerand the driver seat tocrank before it starts properly. Once started, the engine runs smoothly and accelerates fine. I have also noticed that whenthe carstarts normally and is idling, the car will sometimes just stall and stop running. I have been using regular grade gasoline and not premium as recommended. Anyone have an idea what it might be? Thanks</FONT>
