1999 - C230 Giving Jerk intermittently above 60 MPH Speed

Hi,
All of sudden my 1999 C230 started giving me Jerk when I go about 60-80 MPH. It is like not getting enough gas or something. Below 60 it seems fine so far. What could be the issue ?.

Also, anyone can please tell me how to change a Spark Plug. I need to know exact location of Spark Plug in 1999 C230 if anyone can point me our or send me a Picture.

the stalling/jerking could be a coil pack, mine did the same then it started to get worse and did it at all speeds.

spark plugs are under the rocket cover (4 screws I think) then under the leads and way way down. need a long as power bar to remove them. they are quite tight. always righty tighty lefty loosey :p

Thanks for answer. Now it is doing almost any speed but NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. Should I get check engine light or not ?. It is almost seems like it is stop feed gas for less than a second and resumes....

Recently I had MAF issue and i have changed MAF which is after market. Could MAF be a issue ?. All the time when I had issue with MAF, I always get Check Engine light with P0170 code but this time I did not get any code so not sure.

If it is Coil Pack how do I go about find out that it is indeed coil pack and do you know how can I fix it ?
