C230K OUT OF COMMISSION HELP!
I really need everyone's help desperately as this is stopping me from getting to work and feeding my two beautiful precious daughters.
About a week ago, my car no longer started. Yeesh where do I start, straight to the point. 😭😭😭😭😭😭
My 2000 MERCEDEZ C230K, Cranks but does not start but 1 out of every 30ish try it will start for about 5 seconds and cut off. I've changed the fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, spark wires, and spark coils.
I suspected my battery, as it is now always dead but keeps enough power to turn the interior lights on, but sadly not enough to crank the car now. I jumped my car out the hood by a ground*... As you know the battery is in the trunk. It keeps my car alive as I try to start it, something like life support, but sadly the car does not start.
Please help me, I have 3 more days left out of work until I have to go back, and I have ran short of reasons for my absence. I work 50 minutes away from home
UPDATE
Attempts at starting car by turning key*
Car cranks for 2 seconds, (All lights dim with a very fient flicker)
Car doesn't start.
Tries again 2-40 million times*
Car cranks and starts, Car sound's healthy but cuts off after 3-6 seconds.To me I thought it would be a failed MAF as it sounds so much like a perfect match... but then it got worse.
Before the kill, the car ran weird.... I would get a sputter hesitation when pressing down on the gas petal past a half.
Car would hummer/fient shake/purr if I drove it to long above 70mph causing my engine to go into some sort of safety lock limiting my speed by about 30-40mph. I would have to restart my car and instantly after it would drive normal like it reset.
Over time the car became hesitant to start from the 1st try, eventually to 2-4 trys, now 2-80 million.
UPDATE 2-17-19
Put a new battery in, car now starts perfectly fine and cuts off after apx. 3 seconds.

Take it to a garage that can read the error codes. If it can't be driven, have it towed/hauled.
