2012 Mercedes C300
Idle issue

A couple of months ago I had my 2012 C300 tuned by ProjectA for a popcorn tune only. I only noticed this twice so far. I would start my car and as it idling I would rev it lightly and it sounds like the car wants to die. Very slow response. I would shut the car off, start it again and back to normal. This is has happened only a couple of times but I’m worried it will be an issue in the future.

Did you speak with ProjectA to tell them about this? Maybe they have an updated tune that fixes this.

I have not. I wasn’t sure if it was related to the tune or my actual car. I was also going to wait till it happens again and get footage of it. I just didn’t know if there were any ideas besides the tune that could cause this issue.
