I've had a few running problems with my SLK 320 (2001 R170)
In march it was misfiring over 4000 rpm, each time the CEL came on. My local garage downloaded fault codes which suggested that some cylinders were misfiring.- well we knew that
Anyway, they cleaned the MAF sensor and all was well for a week, then the problem re-occurred. We decided to replace the MAF sensor, and again all was well (in fact the car had never drove so well)
Now however, if I try to accelerate hard, it starts off ok for about a second, then the engine momentarily cuts out (Not a misfire but a total cut out) this only lasts for a split second and then off we go with no further problems.
If I accelerate more gently then there is no problem and it rund happily right past 5000rpm.
Any ideas? Anyone had this and found the cure?
