Throttle Response

[Pookis Dad]

Strange one this, when accelerating, say from 50mph, and flooring the throttle the speed actually dies away somewhat. But lift off the gas ever so slightly and she's off like a racehorse.

I recently replaced the plugs and leads with a set from GSF (German, Swedish & French) as opposed to buying from Benz. I got them at a quarter of the price. The oil probably needs a change, but not sure this would have such an effect.

I also replaced the radiator and viscous fan coupling with new ones.

The cars starts and runs perfect and returns excellent mpg.

Any idea's?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a fueling issue to me. Not sure what sensors a 97 car has but I'd be erring towards the MAS.

Thanks for that. Will have to go to the dealer anyhoo to have the autobox oil checked/changed. Can't dip it as there is no dipstick?!?!?! Fly one that.

My wife is happy enough with the car at the minute so will take it when I get a free moment in about 50 years time :-(
