mechanic is here. we broke the valve cover tubes whatever they are called. got new ones for 60$. Performed oil changed due to the fact that i messed up my tranny flush 1 time. Cleaned the inside of the electronics for the throttle boy.
175$ for mechanic to replace valve cover gaskets and throttle body clean. As well as the tube replacement.
85$ for oil and 12$ for filter.
Is this wont solve the issue its gotta be the plugs or bad throttle body.
Wish me luck mbworld i love this mercedes too much

Well..
Good:
Valve cover gaskets are fixed ( due to an oil leak )
Codes are gone. maf elbow had a gap ( like 1/4 of an inch used rtv to seal )
Not the Maf
Changed oil and filter
Vaccum lines replaced for the throttle body Y insert.
Transmission is fine ( maybe Star might find something hopefully not )
Bad:
Still the same problem ( going for star diagnostic wish me luck?)
Slightly stripped screw on throttle body ( Torqued as much as it could go... checked for leaks using smoke and tape so its seated properly going to fix that.
Sparks?
Coils?
Wires? ( Good thing about this is my mechanic had a client bail on him so i can get wires for 50$ oem)
