Car Hesitates...
I drive a 2004 CLK320.
Happened twice already in the past few weeks. When I stopped at the light, there was vibrations with the car. I could see that the RPM went up and down. It felt like the car would die but it did not.
Also, in another 2-3 occasions, when I stepped on the gas after a red light, the car would hesitate and would not move. It went back to normal after a few seconds.
I am bringing in my car to the dealership later this week. Anything I should look for?

The same thing happens to mine!!! For me it started happening after I switched to K&N filters. I just ordered the green filters to switch them and see if it makes a difference.

I am using a stock air filter.
I did some research in this forum and the problem may come from a bad ignition coil.

I took mine to the dealer and they said everything was fine I just needed a software upgrade to the computer. They did it and for the most part it went away but I still feel it sometimes.

.....I ordered the filters anyway they should be getting here this week. The upgrade was like $250 but the guy told me my car would be ready on Tuesday and it wasn't ready till Wednesday so he gave it to me for $150

My CLK is a daily commute but just happened that I did not drive my car for a few days. My appointment with the dealership is next week. I will report if they find something.
This happens to me only 4 times in the last month. Other possibilities are moisture in the gas line (winter/summer changeover), bad gas, etc....

The only mods I did to my CLK are all cosmetics: Wood steering wheel and 17-inch AMG wheels.
The rest are all OE.
