clk320 jerks/hesitates when it starts to roll from a stop, only the first 5mph

My car jerks/hesitates when it starts to roll from a stop. You notce it alot if you're stuck in bumper to bumper traffic. It jerks/hesitates the first 5mph when my foot is still on the brake pedal. It goes away as soon as i pass 5mph. I have recently changed my motor mounts and trans. mount so it's not from that. Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Have you dumped the codes? If so, which, if any, appeared?

I have checked the codes with a scanner and nothing came up.

My car does have an MAF, wish i can swap with someone for a few minutes to verify if that is the problem. Anyone live near San Fernando Valley/LA California? Its very easy to swap MAF's. Thanks

Problem SOLVED! It was the spark plug WIRES all along! Now my car idles so smooth, you cant even feel the engine on. Power is back too at lower RPM's

Gregs210 from benz world suggested to check the wires if they are over 25k ohm. I had nothing to check it with so i decided to change them all which solved my problem.
