I seem to be having a bit of an issue with acceleration on my C230 coupe. 2002.

If I accelerate from a stop, it always seems that from stop to say around 2100RPM, acceleration is slow, but after that, it picks up pretty quickly. I recently did a throttle reset which seemed to help things a little bit, but now it's back to it again.

Any suggestions on what it might be?

You're not starting out in second gear, are you? Can you count the gear changes as you accelerate from a stop?

How many miles on the car, and how long since the last full tranny flush?

The supercharger in M111 is supposed to "kick in" at around 2k RPM from my understanding.
Hence the faster acceleration.

Alright, so after using my Torque app on my car, I found that on WOT, anytime I'm below 2000-2200 rpm, throttle will only go to 35-40% max even with my foot to the floor, but as soon as the engine goes above that mark, it kicks to 100% throttle. I tried the throttle reset trick, and that only helps a little, then it goes back a few days after.

Any ideas what would cause that?
