Help Please
I was driving down 44 Yesterday and my car shut off on me I pushed it off the road and let it sit...
would not start for 20 minutes excuse me would stay running it would turn over and die.(during the 20 min period of stress)
It started! IT stayed running BUT! at a very low speed everytime i got on the accellerator it would pop and not respond i swear it sounded like something was poping in the engine...a very signifigant sound however it rolled home.
i'd get up to 60 but it wassent pleasent i managed to stop off at autozone and pull these codes off the cpu po46o po100 p0410
recently i put a weapon r intake on and threw some lucas fuel injector cleaner down I dont know if this could of created the problem.

Here is your local MB dealer (assuming you are in Beverly Hills, Fl), they will fix your car very nicely, and probably give you a loaner and free wash before you pick it up.
Duval Motorcars
3525 N W 97th Blvd., Gainesville, FL 32606
Sales: 1-888-860-9452 | Service: 1-352-332-7571
Unless Stallion, on the off chance you are one of those people who want to play, but can not pay. Also, take that POS intake off of your car, it is going to only have negative results.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
reinstall your
oem air box and oem paper filter.That (per above) weapon r is crap and just made your intake air go from a cold air inlet next to the grill to a hot air intake in the engine compartment.Losing 5-10 hp in the process. It may have even killed your mass air sensor causing the p0100 code.Restore the system to oem and check for the harness being fitted properly to the maf and any other lines you may have knocked off in the install.Secondary air pump lines etc.

Help indeed!
Spelling, grammar and syntax errors. You should take an "English as a second language" class.
Other than that, it sounds like you've thrown off the ECU or the MAF with the addition of that aftermarket intake.
Peace, out.

how do you know you are running rich?
the maf may be bad,
also some of these aftermarket filters are oiled and the oil can get on the maf,
i beleive you can get maf cleaner (which is just a contact cleaner) from you local auto store,
just a possibility

have you checked the throttle valve for any soiling? if dirt does get in then it can well cause the car to hesitate. clean the throttle valve and make sure there are no air leaks after the maf.
