I have a Mercedes 190E 2.3 1993 with about 120000 miles. Recently the car start to turn off the engine as I'm driving and right after I can star and go.
I seems some related with electronics, because sometimes, I can go fews days with no problem.
In another words its happen on and off.
Thank you very much

Intermittant stalling problems can be a real challenge. It may be electronic in nature that is affecting a lack of spark and or fuel. I would first make sure that the simple things are in order first such as complete tune up is current, making sure the vacuum hoses are all good. You can wiggle them as well as various electrical harness while it's running to see if any changes happen. This may be a situation where wind draft, bumps, heat etc. Is affecting it only while its movng.
