Strange start up problem

Hey everyone. I'm the proud owner of a 2009 C180. The car has been perfect so far. I service the car on time at Benz and take good car of my ride.

About 15 mins ago I jumped in the car, started it and no problem, then it cut off. I started it again but the engine didn't sound as loud as it usually does. I tried to rev the car but nada, and the idle seems to be off.

I put the car in drive but nada. I check the exhaust just to make sure the car is actually on and it was.

Opened the bonnet and all seems ok but the engine isn't as loud as it normally is. The engine is running but not responding at all to the accelerator pedal.

help

Another round of ICE
Most powertrain problems will generate and store an error code. I'd visit the dealer in case a sensor is degenerating.
