I have a 1988 300 E. Fuel economy has become terrible. Ive put a lot of money into the car. It stalls out when coming to a stop. If I go into the grocery store and get back to the car to leave it sometimes takes 10 key cranks to start the car. Then just keeps stalling out. Its gotten worse over the past couple years. Air and fuel seem to not be getting along...

Im thinking its either OVP or Idle Control Valve...About to take a look when the weather clears
