one of your 3 ignition coils is on its way out. either that or really bad MAF. read the codes and get back to us. you can pick up an OBDII code reader from walmart for 90 bucks... or 70 bucks online... walmart is usually the faster option.

im leaning towards the ignition coils as i have replaced a total of 6 coils between my two c280's. hope it helps.

good luck

For one thing he's got a 94 which means he's not here in the US.

So no Wally world for him.

But it does sound like a coil has s%it the bed. Easy fix.

in my car and most others, your obd port should be directly near your right knee when you sit in the car normally. on the underside of the dash on the right side of your steering wheel.... thats if you have a left hand drive.... im assuming everything would be reversed in a right hand drive car
