Mercedes: air condition and idling, air doors, side vents


Question
1993 190E 2.3 162000 miles  Tampa, florida

1. When my air condition is on, after about five minutes, I get hot air coming from ny two side vents. The middle vents continue to blow out cold air. I smell outside exhausts with the a/c on. Is the problem my max air doors?

2. When I purchased the car it had an engine shake in park and drive. I put in front and rear engine and tranny mounts, completely tuned it up, replaced all fuel filters and air filter, induction clean up for the injectors....and it still shakes. I have been told this is the make up of that type car. How can I get the car to idle smoothly and have a smooth start when I start it up?
