No rough idle at all.
Engine mounts are still suspect, at least from what I read on this forum in CLK section- couple of guys had similiar expirience and engine mounts were at fault.

Saga Continues
Vibration problem sorted out:
Flex disc and center bearing going bad- not a big deal.
Engin cutting off for split second at 2-3k rpms still driving me nuts.
So far rulled out:
1. Spark Plugs, Ignition Wires and Coils.- New plugs and wires, coils tested -ok
2. fuel pump - tested - ok
3. Injectors - tested -ok
4. Engine Scanned , rescanned for days at a time - no codes. I had sacanner pluged in for a week.
Any Ideas please help !!!!
Detail describtion of problem:
Full throtle - no problem pulls like a train.
Feather throthle or idle - no problem.
1/3- 1/2 throthle between 2-3k rpms (doesn't matter what gear, no shifting)
feels like engine cutts off for fraction of the second few times at the time.
When floored during jerking, problem goes away, until next 1/3-1/2 throthle.
Oh... BTW- stealers helpless, have no clue whats wrong.

My first guess would have been plugs and wires, but you've already crossed that off of the list. Good luck!

Again, just throwing it out there. SRT-4's have a TPS problem, and one just went out in my girlfriend's Hyundai Tuscon.

This may be a long shot but, have you looked into this possibility?
https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/225947-jerk-chirp-saga.html
My cut-out/jerk happens at 2900 rpm under light acceleration too. Do you hear any "Chirp"? When I tried AMG-Jerry's suggestion, the jerk and chirp went away. Try it for yourself and see if that isolates the problem.

edit; sorry, I just noticed that you were a poster on that thread. Of course you read it. Duh.

Update
Data logger is in (thanks to link provided by Neihouma), monitoring throttle position, fuel preassure and timing advance.
Maybe this will shine some light on my problem.
