I have a 1993 Mercedes Benz 300SEL with 180,000 miles on it.

When I apply the gas pedal it sputters and chokes out.

Once I get it running it will run smooth.

If I stop at a traffic light it will run for a bit then stall and shut off.

I've changed the fuel filter and had the injectors cleaned.

What else could be the problem?

Any help is appreciated.

Check fuel pressure 1st.
Low fuel pressure will cause that issue.
