1999 SLK 230 Kompressor no acceleration. Please help!
No acceleration at all. I've replaced the TPS, throttle body, reset the fuel accerator switch, both with stepping on the accerator in the on position and also the in drive with foot on brake method. I've cleaned the mass air flow sensor. Here are some videos to show what I'm talking about. Please help.

At this point I'm thinking the ECM. But there are some sensors on the cam I'm not sure about. Not the cam position sensor. Something else.
Can some one tell me what these two sensors are. The one on the right is getting blow back of oil.

Reason: Mispelling
I assume you're talking about the big round thing, that's the cam actuator solenoid, it controls the flow of oil into the cam gear to actuate the VVT.
Have you done any diagnostics aside from just replacing parts?
No acceleration at all is more likely a throttle problem than a sensor on the engine. Pedals fail, throttle bodies fail, could be many things. Proper diag will save you time/money.
I ran a scan on it from home with no codes at all. While running, everything comes up as normal on the scan tool. The only code on the dash is the BSR/ASR. But I removed that fuse while running and it made no difference. I replaced the Throttle position sensor and the throttle body with no difference. I ordered the camshaft actuator/adjuster. Not sure what else it could be besides a computer.

This is not diagnostics...
What type of scanner are you using?
You need to understand why the system is failing before you try to fix it.
