Codes P0300, P0301, & P0303 etc... HELP!!!
I have a 2000 c230 Kompressor (W202). It has 175,000 miles.
I was passing a car yesterday and gave it some gas to get by and the check Engine light came on. It drove very rough and badly after the Check Engine light came on. I got it home and checked the codes. There was one code, P0301.
I did a compression check:
Cylinder 1 psi: 160 & 155
Cylinder 2 psi: 130 & 135
Cylinder 3 psi: 160 & 160
Cylinder 4 psi: 120 & 120
I then installed new spark plugs and spark plug wires (I had bought some a month back, hadn’t installed them yet).
I then changed the places of the two coils. I put #1 & #2 coil where coil #3 & #4 was, and vice versa.
Now I have five new Check Engine codes: P0300, P0301, P0303, P0300 P, & P0301 P.
Anyone have any advice or answers. Thanks in advance.

So an update.
When I swapped the coil packs it triggered more Check Engine codes. My guess was the coils were bad. I bought two new coil packs from Autohausaz, installed them and my C230 is running well again. Problem solved.
Thanks for everyone that responded
