Mecedes-Benz E280
Hard ignition and power missing
Hello, recently my E280 started to have problems.
One of them is that sometimes out of nowhere(or just delayed after bigger rpm) it would lose power. It wouldn't do more then 2.5k/5k rpm, if you are driving ~110km/h. After stopping and starting again(with engine running), then it is possible to reach 5k/5k rpm, but no more then 70km/h. After turning off engine and starting it again, everything comes back to normal.
Second is very hard engine start after night. Engine would start after exactly 3 times of auto cranking, if it was started last day. If car wasn't moved for few days, then it needs 20+ times to start. Fuel filter and 2 fuel pipes connected to filter changed.

There should be some codes stored that'll point you in the right direction. If you don't have a code reader, a parts store can either get you one for cheap ($50?) or might read the codes for you.
So many possibilities, but knowing the codes will narrow them considerably.
