My Clk320 misfires
Hi guys went to have the codes check and what came out was misfire on cylinder 4stored current ,5stored, 6 stored current...we replaced the coils and check for vacuum leaks also switch the coils around but its still on the same side... the problem is when i drive it start on a slow pace its ok then i speed up (flooring it for speed) on a high rev. the car starts to lose power then the engine shakes (CEL on) but when i restart it its back to normal again...only on very high speed the check engine comes on... i dont wanna give up on this car i really want to keep it... pls hope you could give me ideas i havent slept for the past few weeks...

cylinder 4,5, and 6
Good news guys problem solved the mechanic got the codes then evaluated everything from the driver side 4 5 6 cylinder that misfires he checked the coils, spark plug, vacuum leaks and found out that the O2 sensor is busted on the driver side and is giving wrong information to the ecu that is why it cuts off around 4k rpm especially when i speed up then the car starts to shake and CEL is ON......... now we replaced it with a new one thank God Black-Bird is back on his wings (CLK) hehe phew! Btw thanks again to all of you who answered my questions...
