E220 (M111) cuts out when starting

Hi, I have problem with my E220, When i turn igntion on to start car, it cranks up perfectly but after few seconds it just stalls, no shaking or anything. When trying to apply throttle it stutters and stalls.
What have I done:
  • OVP has been changed few times
  • Wiring harness is new and tested.
  • Coils, spark plugs and spark wires are good
  • Fuel pump works.
Any ideas what could cause a problem?
Here I attached video of my problem:

Thank you in advance!

Why do new members (and older too) posting their MB concerns, always presume readers can mind-read their make, model and YEAR of the MB in question?
Do they all believe MBs of yesterday are cut from the same cloth today??
respectfully, it's no surprise, you either get no responses, or a whole shiat load of 'whack-a-mole' responses that still lead to nothing.


The blind leading the blind.


And then there's the simple search features, we all have access to, BUT never use (too lazy perhaps), or know how-to use

Try unplugging the airflow sensor and see if it's any better. The system will use a fixed value to substitute which may be better than the erroneous one from the bad sensor.

Disconnected and still have same problem, is there any other way to test if it`s MAF fault, maybe with multi-meter the sensor itslelf? Since it`s Easter and I can`t get any spare MAF sensor quickly.

If this will make any difference, so - It`s 1993' Mercedes Benz E220, with M111.960 HFM engine - the ones with eco-junk wiring, which is already changed properly.
Didn`t mean to do anything bad,

Swap out the mass airflow sensor if you can. Your description sounds likely. If you unplug it the sensor it will use a fixed value and run decent and maybe even better if yours is bad. See what happens
