2000 MB C230 Kompressor
Acceleration issue

My 2000 c230 kompressor with 134000 miles hesitates , then retards acceleration when pushing down on the pedal . One of the several fault codes that I can remember at the moment referred to a 'lower fuel rail' problem. And lately , with this heat wave , especially with the a/c running , it periodically will run rough to the point where when I brake say at a signal , the car jumps around pretty good as if it wants to stall completely . But then other times it runs real smooth except for when I need to accelerate real quickly . Any suggestions ?

Currently experiencing very similar problems... very frustrating hesitation and lack of power. Falls on its face around 4k RPM and won't pick up speed then cel and starts shaking.
Please help! Did you solve your issue?
