I have a 2001 Mercedes kompresso right, after letting previous owner drive it (he wanted

He could have pulled the connections to the Mass Air Flow sensor or the Idle Air Control valve. He may have unplugged a vacuum line as well. I would call someone who knows their way around a cars engine and have them take a quick look for you.
