Hi, I am a new member, owner of a '98 C200 petrol, manual box with 109000 miles
Since I purchased the car back in march, I've experienced some issues with the performance of my engine..
The car was very sluggish and jerky, which I assumed to be due to the very few miles the car had covered with the previous elderly owner, these problems started to clear up a little with regular use.
I've since replaced the spark plugs, coil packs, and leads, which has improved the performance slightly, giving the car a bit more power but still doesn't feel right
However there is still a problem that has constantly been present..
I can't seem to rev past about 4K, when I floor the pedal, the car just seems to jerk and misfire, not revving any higher than 4k.
In the first minute or so of driving from a cold start, the engine barely pulls at all with a lot of hesitation and misfiring..
Anyone have any ideas?
So far I've cleaned the maf with a bit of contact cleaner
Sealed a tiny split on the vacuum line to the injector rail
Used a few bottles of redex in the tank (does that stuff even work?)
Checked air filter
I can't seem to find the problem..
