No Power!!!!

Lately I've been having problem with Jazmine. Everytime we go out after some time she gives me problem at the light. For example when it's time for me to go I step on the gas and it's like shes chocking. A couple of times she ends up shutting off. But as aoon as I start it up, problem gone. And last night was the worst. We're on the expressway doing the things we like to do and all of a sudden I see what most of us W208 driver's love to see and that's a a clear mile with no cars. So I did what most W208 drivers would and thats brace myself and put that gas pedal to the floor . but nothing happened as a matter of fact it got slower. In order for me to increase the speed I had to slowly presson the pedal. I need to get jazmine fixed before I make a bad decision. Not to mention a few times the esp/bas light comes on and the cars is in what I believe is limp mode. I changed the brake light switch but nothing happened. If you guys can help pleas let me know. Thanx

I had teh same problem and it ended up being my MAF. I bought one off Ebay and it ended up being bad or out of spec. I finally went to the dealer and bought one there and the problem was finally solved!! The engine felt like it would drown when I slammed on the gas. Make sure you check your MAF and plug connections first in case their loose.

MAF, CPS, or faulty 02 sensors.
