W208 clk 200 kompressor power loss
When I’m driving and want to accelerate it feels normal until it gets to 80-100 kmh and it feels like it lost half of its power or more and maybe gets to 160-170kmh and stops accelerating, I found out the car had no air filter 2 months after buying it, installed an air filter and changed spark plugs and 2 ignition coild that were causing a misfire, misfire is gone but still the same problem of power loss, it doesn’t happen all of the time though

It's great that you already took steps to fix the misfire issue by installing an air filter, changing spark plugs, and replacing the faulty ignition coils. It's odd that you're still experiencing power loss after these fixes, especially at higher speeds.
Since the misfire is gone but the power loss remains, it might be worth checking a few more things:
- Fuel System: Make sure the fuel filter is clean and the fuel pump is functioning correctly. A clogged fuel filter or a weak fuel pump can cause power loss at higher speeds.
- Exhaust System: Check for any restrictions in the exhaust system, like a clogged catalytic converter, which can limit engine performance.
- Air Intake System: Ensure the air intake system is clean and free of any obstructions. A restricted air intake can affect engine power.
Since the issue doesn't happen all the time, it might be intermittent or related to specific driving conditions. If the problem persists, consider having a mechanic run a diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause of the power loss at higher speeds. It's essential to ensure your car is running smoothly and efficiently for a safe driving experience.
