Have you checked for all the "normal" vacuum leaks?

On this new 300E i just picked up, workign out the little bugs. It
starts up and runs great when cold. AFter it starts warming up the
idle starts to get a little rough, and finally gets to where it
will sometimes die. Afterwards it can be hard to start, or start
up somewhat easier. Sometimes it will sit there and idle and try
to die, then recover and run for a little while longer etc. Just
as quick things I swapped out the coil and the ignition module,
didnt make a difference. So, seems like its something in the fuel
injection. I also noticed that it seems to have that smell like
the cat is getting too hot. I noticed this once before in the
380SE that I dropped the 5.0 euro in. Its cat would glow red hot I
think because it was not getting enough fuel, running too lean
because the tank screen or filter was plugged up IIRC. Wonder if
this one is running too lean when it warms up? Doesnt seem to
smoke but does have a funny smell like its either running too rich
or too lean. Anybody got any ideas?
