See my post here: same problem as me.
https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...-question.html
Interesting that we both posted the same problem one day apart.
I am about to go the TPS route - ouch.

I DIY my car. So your result will be important to me and others who DIY! I think that this issue needs a complete problem statement and resolution on this forum.
Thanks and good luck!

I think it is the MAF which is faulty. I had the same problem with my other MB several years ago and a new mass sensor and Star code clearing solved all the problems

A wrong ecu tune to ur car could make this happen,so if u have a chip u should contact the guy who made the file for you,the file has definetly direct comunication with Throttle response,since u have a late kick down response u should check it ! Plus u should check the Throttle Position Sensor located near the firewall,but my advice to check ur file 1st ! Good Luck !

Still More To come,some are pending already No Problem anytime I like to help anyone that ask or need help,as well We all share here our problems,ideas,help... BTW I saw a post for u that u swap the 55n/a engine on C43,so the kick down problem came since u made the swap or few months later ? (The only reason im asking,bkoz i want to help my friend and he also did the swap,but i suggest that u both need a ecu file,because the ecu will get confused since u r running c43 ecu file on 55 engine,i told him that before but had no idea what he did later ) I think u should have a huge trq since u have 55 engine on all 43 parts Am i right

Forgot to mention that im 90% sure its from ur ecu file,since when u made the swap everything was ok and then later the porblem started to show up,plus it might be the c43 ecu file made that wrong connection with ur throttle response since u upgraded to a 55 engine and u still on 43 file so u have this 2 things to look after it

c43 ecu will self adapt to the 55 motor. as they use the same ecu as the 99-^ e55 clk55. dealer tech speaking here. check maf or tps. or just simply run by the dealer or shop with sds and have them run a test. trust me. if your car has or had a glich...it may not throw the "CEL" but will "store" a code in the m.e. other scanners might not show but sds will. so save the headache if your not exactly sure get a short test run and most likely no exactly what the problem is. thats how I keep my 43 in tip top shape. although I may be a little spoiled.

C43 has different engine from E55,different power and torque... My suggestion is that his wrong ecu made the tps get confused and store problem... so first he have to check the tps and have a 55 ecu tune

I kind of take this post personal, bc i am a technican that specializes in mercedes benz alone. and as a tech i have gone through years of schooling and training for mercedes benz specifically. what makes your diagnoisis over the internet any better from mine or any other? why because you may have worked a little bit on your own and a buddies mercedes as to me who has worked on 1000's upon 1000's of mercedes. and yes there is that problemmatic car in which we do have trouble with and have to "throw parts" at to elimate possible concerns, none of which is at cost to any customer in our shop until final diagnoisis is complete. i havnt once said i may know everything there is to know about mercedes but i have a slightly better advantage over most on this board. and i was just throwing out a helpful hint or idea, and that helpful hint or idea and had that been given to you throw my shop that would of cost $157.00. so ill just not comment on anymore posts to be helpful in the future.....and sir as for your diagnosis on telling him to call eurocharged (no problems with eurocharged btw, just saying dont just waste money) and get a tune..well a tune is at least $500 and stupid to "just do" when your not sure and still even with a new tune on the me, it still may act the same exact way as with the original tune due to a failing component that is still the problem... just saying.

and again it is the same m.e. i am at work now and just checked the part number of my M.E 99 c43 on the EPC which chico is what we use at the dealer to look up parts, with an 01 e55 in the shop right now and the part numbers are exactly. the c43 and 55 motor are the same engine, just different internals. both of them are m113 engines. spark plugs, fuel injectors, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds, etc are the same and cross over for both engines. im not going to get involved in a long overdrawn arguement with someone who is ignorant and doesnt have all the facts and tools to call other people wrong. im through commenting anymore. as i too must be ignorant.

if u read back the conv,i told him he should check the tps first and get a tune from eurocharged later on,since he swapped a 55 engine on his c43 then he must be addicted in speed,so as u know ecu tune is the most upgrade that give more hp+trq in the less cost
