Recently the car has been stalling when comming to a stop. This happens around twice a day. Being an auto. car I select N. and it starts up again. Obviously this will be dangerous some day. Any Merc. owners there who know exactly how to diagnose this problem in a logical and DIY way.

It could be the idle air control valve but DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES run brake fluid through it as suggested by someone else use CArb cleaner or have it ultrasonically cleaned
Best take it to a garage see if they can read any stored fault codes the memory has

Could well be the idle air control valve. Take it off and ruin some brake fluid through it. Let it dry out and refit. Might well cure it.
PS dont listen to know it all down below. Brake fluid works fine. Done it dozens of times to different motors. Carb cleaner is just a specific substance. Petrol works the same.
