1997 c230 starts then shuts off
Hi
I owe 1997 C230, car was running grate, just today i tried to start it it starts and immediately shuts off. Reeds P0100 and P1580 codes. I replaced mass air flow sensors few months back. I think it is not the problem since the old one even when i disconnected it car was still running. Poorly but it was still working. Cleaning throttle body didn't help. The car does not respond to throttle at all. How can i check if it is the throttle body not working or it is the sensor that controls it. Thanks for any help.
