Check Engine light and rough idle

Hi, I was driving my car all day today and all of a sudden my check engine light came on! No malfunctions are listed in the multifunction display but I did notice that the car was shaking when I'd come to a stop. Any ideas? Oh, something similar happened to me about 2 months ago and the dealer replaced the mass air-flow sensor, more details at: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31342

It could be another bad mass-airflow sensor, I've seen them defective right out of the box.

Did you have the car refueled just prior to this happening. If the gas tank cap is not seated correctly, the engine check light comes on.

mbtech, would a bad mass-airflow sensor cause the car to shake at idle? Thanks

Mike, no I didn't refuel the car that day and the light came on while I was driving, however I did check the gas cap a few times and it is on fine. Thanks for the tip though!

I had a bad mass sensor on a 208 and it caused my car to shake at idle.

I had a bad air-mass sensor on my car, and I remember it shaking. In fact, it did a lot of shaking, just before it died.
