E55 AMG No Power HELP
I have an 04 and it has been running great. All of a sudden I lost all power. After reading up on it I found the IC pump failed. I replaced it with a 010 Bosch and now thats working fine but still no power. Anything over 1/4 throttle goes flat. No SC kick in no power. Its been at the dealer for a full day and they said they still get an IC pump code but the pump is running fine. Also got a pedal sensor code. Anyone had this problem? The tech seems to be struggling with it and any help would be great. TIA

I've seen the pedal assembly got out and cause total loss of power. What happens in the sensor cant sense the pedal being actuated which results in no power.
If that is indeed your issue, a new pedal assembly complete with sensor is a 3 minute install.

Heard from dealer today. First problem is there was some air in the coolant system causing the IC pump code. They said that they have never seen that as the system should self bleed. Second issue was a bad tank of gas from Mobil. They drained it and refilled. Third problem was bad plugs. Fourth was bad fuel pump. What I thought was going to be a quick trip to the dealer for a sensor of coolant bleed turned into 3 days. They were great though and really helped out on the bill.

So, what i want to know, is the car actually driving fine now? Or are you still waiting for it? Personally i don't think the plugs needed changed nor the gas or pump :P I'd check out the pedal assy and see if they replaced that without saying anything, and charged you for the more pricier work. Good luck either way.
