I'm not too familiar with Mercedes but it should illuminate the engine light at startup, just so you know it's working. Try pulling codes on it just to see what may be stored. The 'stalling-unless-you-give-it-gas' may be due to the intake air control (IAC) valve (or motor) As to not starting now, there's just too many variables as to what can cause that. Check all the basics - air, fuel, spark. If you've been cranking it alot lately, the battery may simply be dead. Check it for charge or get a jump.
