GLC43 - 73K miles - misfire and flash CEL

Temperatures have been close to freezing here in MA. Started the car from a stop and applied partial gas in 'C' mode and the vehicle hesitated and CEL flashed. Pulled over, turned off/on the car, problem went away.

Upon scanning the codes, I got:

ECM - Engine Control Module(ME) 2 problems exist
1.P030022 Combustion misfiring has been detected. The signal amplitude is greater than the maximum amplitude.
2.P030100 Combustion misfiring of cylinder 1 has been detected.

Any thoughts on what may be the problem?

Thank you!

Tuned?

Open the cam sensor and cam magnet sensor harness connectors and check for signs of oil.

No it's not tuned...

Where are the cam sensor connectors? Any pics/diagrams/etc.? I think I have the MB parts diagrams so any pointers would help.

The other thing I can think of -- 3K miles ago I did the plugs myself (but not the coils) and it's been running fine. Could it be that maybe the coils are going?

Yes, coils degrade on all engines. I replaced coils on my 3.5NA M276 V6 and it made a difference in smoothness, as it would on any engine. 6 years old and nearly 50k miles is a reasonable ignition coil change interval.

Did the coils solve your problem OP?
