Put a star diagnosis on it or a generic code reader and let us know what it says. I'm willing to bet its 2 things. Air mass sensor or the Throttle positioning sensor.

I did put it on the computer and it was the left rear abs sensor?

My CLK430 Covertible 2001 was giving me acceleration flat spots, gear changing problems, especially when accelerating hard. Since spraying every single electrical connection, and everywhere else under the bonnet with WD40, it now goes, and sounds like a rocket. Anyone have any ideas why? It seems too good to be true!
