SLK230 rough idle when in reverse
 
My 1998 SLK230 just started having a rough idle when I put it into reverse. It seems to go away after the engine has warmed up or is put into drive or park. It currently has about 108,000 miles on it and has not ever given me any other problems. Does anyone have any idea of what could be causing the low idling and how it can be corrected?

I have the same issue and with the research I've been doing. Everything is pointing to just needing to change spark plugs because they're worn. I will give an update when I can get mine replaced to let you know.
