1996 e320 running rough.

Hello everyone my name is Shawn, I am a new member and have problems already. Lol. I just bought a 96 E320 and it is my first Mercedes ever. It is at times running rough and at take off I need to press the pedal down a ways for it to go. (play in the gas pedal). It hasn't stalled yet on me but it just isn't running right. It threw a code for a MAF and a CPS also had a fuel trim bank 2 code. I changed the mass air sensor but it didn't help. I cleared all the codes and none of them came back yet. ( about 100 miles driven since then). I was wondering if maybe anyone had any suggestions for me. Also is it possible to have a bad CPS without the car stalling or not starting. Thank you so much and it is very nice to be here!

the CPS does not always cause a starting problem sometimes the car will just run poorly.
