shes been running great since the conversion a few months ago, but suddenly started basically intermittanly lurching and stalling for a second, misfiring, then running normal for a while. then i start it and its perfect running smooth, then suddenly starts lurching again worse and worse until now its almost not drivable, Id say fuel/air thing but just a few months ago I replaced EVERYTHING plugs maf all gaskets, hoses tps, etc etc etc. The check engine scan comes back as temp sensor/airflow sensor, misfires on 3 separate cylinders. Im a lil stumped. ecu? mechanic thinks thottle body?? I kinna doubt that one...

What brand MAF? I had really mixed luck with a no name replacement. OE Boschu went in and no more problems.

adiokyro

thats the thing i did oem/bosch for everything. so weird

take it back, it's still under warranty.
maybe you got a lemon?

I would try a different MAF before I swapped the TB.

DRBC43AMG

So would I and with a Bosch replacement for sure

im a mb tech. def check and make sure all vac hoses are in place. def check maf and seatment to throttle body. and airbox to maf. but a tb can cause that problem as well. could very well be the cause. but definitely check all those others first.

I actually had similar problems after I did my swap
Even when I did the oem maf it was a hit and miss I changed 3 before it worked and I also had a couple of bad coils.

I would love to get that cluster mod but my C43/55 is a 2000 and it needs the cluster with gear selector display.
Other than that its perfect for me.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!
My MAF appeared to be plugged in but was not. Plugged it in and car perfect again.
I knew my car was perfect with the 25k I just spent on it.
FYI---I am selling it as my gf and I are buying a house : ( hoping for 10kish...

how long did you drive it with phantom connection?
when you had your engine swapped you said car was transformed into a beast.
maybe you didn't feel full c55 power after you did your swap?
any difference between 1st. time experiance and today after you connected your maf properly?

you will regret selling your car when you spent so much cash into this money pit vault.
your car is like a dog, it will go wherever you go.
a chick has her own mind and one day will decide to go her own way leaving you behind, you will kick yourself in the head selling your car!
don't do it.
you'll be sorry.

thanks kowalski--I know thats sound advice. The car seemed to be very very very fast after the swap. I will drive today and see if its even quicker. I do really love this car so will be sad if I sell but we do need a downpayment for a house and part of it for me is the challenge of the build. although it is pretty ridiculous to spend that tall amount of cash and take suckh a big loss just for the thrill of the build---but i think we all have a bit of that. I need a 12 step meeting. just did the same thing with a sweet porsche 968 vert. got it perfect, sold it, regret it.

make your chick sign a relationship contract.
if she dumps you in the future, you'll sue her a$$ because you had to sell your C43 because of her.
she will have to put up all the cash you lost on your car when you sold it.
slogan is: put out or get out

adiokyro

BAHAHAHAHA!!!!

It was very fun ripping it around today she is sweeeeeeeeet

nd4spd13

Which one?

ProjectC55

This happened to me as well with the maf plug and car straigtened up. Sad thing to sell her though I will be in the same boat.

adiokyro

yea and what a pia to sell a car like this on ebay and clist. Ive recieved all sorts of low ***** and information from 'experts' on how bad my car is (but they still want it) (my car is sweet)
Total number of people that have actually shown up to drive it: 0

Your ebay ad lists 2006 CLK55 motor but your thread says you bought a 2002 CLK55?

I second that question about the year of CLK55 motor. At least 20 HP difference.

mbsickness

Your car is very nice and it takes a knowledgeable person to truly appreciate all you have done. I so much want to buy it but I think my wife would divorce me if I did. Anyway best of luck on the sale. I would suggest taking some better pictures for your ad.

Capn

It sold on ebay for $7,500 so hopefully the car is in great shape for the new owner.

adiokyro

Nah didn't sell. I had my friend bid up to the reserve so ppl could see what I was looking for minimum. Yes I effed up the engine year thing. It was unintentional, I have a 2006 Audi a3, maybe that's y I Thought that. Yes my ad minna sucked lol!! I suck at pics, etc. in a way I'm happy bc I love this car and spent so much cash on it. In a way I'm sad because wow it seems to have no value. But it's all in the driving it. If people could drive it they'd get it, it's a tight well done car.
What do you guys think of using it for track? The traction control and AT let it down a bit for that purpose, but, strip interior , eight point cage , and track it? I'd probably cry taking the interior out its so cherry and I love it......

KJI3jflarryfe93

i'm glad you didn't sell your car, you will stay happy!

dearlove

yes track the car. strip out all the ****, LSD, and show everyone what a ****ing machine the w202 is!!!
