Phil, I am out of town and I do not have access to my manuals. I'm also not even sure if I have that warranty book as I got the car used. When I called the 1800 MB number, the lady said she was looking at the warranty booklet and could not find the MAF listed under what was covered by the FED. She, along with a few other service advisers, said only the catalytic converters, engine management sytstem, and a few other things were covered. Is there anyway you could post of send me a pic or scan of that specific page?

I agree. The car is fine so far. It seems, however, that I need to get you to do my throttle body sooner rather than later. My dash dyno readings at idle and in Drive are substantially similar and are:
Intake Manifold Pressure: 10.9 in/HG
Intake Air Flow, MAF: 0.61 lb/min
Ignition Timing: -15.0 deg. BTC
Engine RPM: 537 to 549
I'll see if I can escape my wife's notice and get you the TB soon!! (In my house it is verbotten to spend money on anything other than shoes, boots, purses, lingerie or jeans and it is a capital offense soup up an AMG (assuming I have been forgiven for buying it in the first place)).

Also, I will research the federal emissions warranty covering the MAF.

Phil is correct. Please see p.37 (pic. 4, below) of the MB MY 2005 gasoline engine passenger car list of "Warranted Emission Related Components".

Wow thanks a lot Marc for the scans. I'm glad to see that it really does say "mass air flow sensor" there in print. There's no denying that once I show them. Should I call the service adviser back and tell him that it says it right in the manual that it should be covered?

I just looked at the PDF scans again and it says that the parts listed are only covered for 2 years/24,000 miles except for the parts with the stars next to them. Only the parts with the stars are covered for 8 years/80,000 miles.

Correct, only the starred parts are covered for 80k, everything else you are SOL which I discovered when I just had my CPS replaced after 63k

UPDATE: I purchased a new MAF from AutohausAZ for $135 and replaced it this afternoon. Everything is working perfectly now the car drives like new. Thanks for the help guys.
