MY01 ML320 Hesitation from cold start
On a cold start our ML will hesitate upon acceleration at the first stop sign aproximently 1/2 mile from our house.
We will start the car, get everyone loaded ease out our driveway (about 2/10 of a mile) stop. Make a right turn, no problem, drive another 3/10 of a mile to a 4 way stop and cough... sputter and almost die when throttle is applied.
The ambient air temperature in the morning is about 77 degrees F.
Has anyone had/have this issue or similar?
I have heard it could be the ECU or MAS from the group benzworld.org.

try resetting ur ECU, maybe the car is adapted to a certain driving pattern, it might refresh ur throttle response, if that doesnt work...then you can try, checking if your airfilter is dirty, if it is, change it. if you havnt replaced ur motor oil within the last 5000miles, try changing that. if not...then your stuck at the same stage I am, my throttle response is killing me. feels like a 4 cylinder
