I am working on a 99 s500. Just replaced the tranny. After finished I test drove car, shifted in all gears and fluid level good. Took car to get faults cleared and adapted. Car drives fine in all gears except when floored. At full throttle it sputters when about to **** and car dies. Anyone have this problem?

 

yes many ppl in here, partic the more senior members tend to "sputter before they are about to ****".
lol

 

It is a vacuum and electronic limiter that is giving you the problem.
