Anyone Please Help My 99 C280...
Hello!
I'm really scared just now my car started to like shake (engine), and loss of power. I was driving and suddenly my check engine turned on, and i notice the car lost a lot of power. And at a stop sign, the car shakes, and a VERY VERY slow pickup. Let me tell you yesterday I was trying to put gas in my car cause it was close to empty, but it rejected the gas almost everytime so I had to put in gas slowly... It seemed like the tank was full but really wasnt, so I had to put gas in slowly took like 10minutes because it clicked clicked clicked, like it was full and I know it wasnt of course... Anyways and today the check engine turned on and the car started to like shake and loss of power real slow. It has about 115,000 miles my first car from a friend I purchased. Ran real nice for 3months just today suddenly out of no where I was doing like 60mph and check engine turned on. Anyone knows whats wrong? Is the engine dieing on me? I hope not I am real scared, I'm a student and I love my car. I hope its like some sort of gas injection/filter problem. But does anyone know what it seems to be? And can I connected an OBD II tester to a Benz? 99 C280
Thanks so much!

MAS is a good one, but due to my most recent experience that paralells his, I'm gonna go with bad gas. For the slow fill up problem I'm gonna suggest that next time, try pulling the nozzle out of the tank a little further, works for me EVERY time that happens. Does you car do this EVERY time you drive it or is the the first and ONLY time?

This happened to me a few months ago. May I suggest that it could be ignition coil/pack. I had to replace my ignition coil/pack/end whatever 
It could also be bad gas, though I haven't experienced that in my car yet.
Keep us posted on what the OBDII shows. I think Autozone can read/scan your Benz. I am thinking of getting an OBDII scanner as well, to save me a trip to Autozone.
Good luck.
