2004 E500 4matic, problem?

Hello everybody I am a new member to this site and a new Benz owner. I have a problem, yesterday when I was driving back from work my check engine light turned on, and when I would drive from a full stop my car would glitch, basically I would press the gas the car would lag for maybe 2-3 seconds like its thinking what to do then the rpm would skyrocket from 500-2000 right away and I would start flying every single time... so the whole time I had to keep my distance from cars. Also my gas started to drain real fast because of that. My car has 160k on it. I really pray and hope its not the transmission.


Thank you for you're time.

By the time some one replied on this useless site I already found out the problem its the mass air flow sensor.

Jesus Christ, sorry no one replied to you within 24 hours. People on this "useless site" have things called jobs, families, responsibilities, homework, and friends.

Don't give Mercedes owners a bad name... thanks for at least documenting your findings so when people search this in the future they will have a possible answer.

I agree. We are not on computers (contrary to belief) just to waiting to answer emergency questions. Most folks here are very helpful, just sometime, they have stepped away from the forum.

Most problems, issues with a 10 year old car, have already been addressed on this useless site. The trick is to search prior to asking and therefore one won't get disappointed with their expectations and then be forced to post a "heavy" response.
