SLK 32
Throttle lag and maf cleaning

Hi there,

I am very new to the SLK and the forum so forgive any ignorance that may occur!!!

I hav a 2000 SLK 320.

I have owned it for a few months now and everything has been going fine until last week.

Suddenly I have found myself at the traffic lights waiting for go and my car starts chugging as if it is about to stall, bu thasnt done so yet.

When I gonto accelerate, the car chugs a bit and then takes off as if there is something blocking it.

I have not had the same performance or acceleration since.

I read on the forum about cleaning the maf and resetting the accelarator but this hasn't worked.

I haven't got any warning lights so am unclear what the problem is as the car isn't telling me there is one directly.

Please can someone advise?

I have seen a Speed booster can take lag away but am reluctant to go that route as there had never been lag or chugging before and would rather find out what has gone wrong.

Many thanks.

Z
