SLK230, R170
SLK 230, very sloppy :(
Hey so ive got a '98 SLK 230 had it for about 6 weeks now.
Drove it ~500k's and it was fantastic, then went to go up a hill (coincidence or not) and it basically felt like it was doing it in fifth gear pulled over and restarted and took off slowly.
Ever since, everytime I go to drive off the car sounds terrible and wont break 2000RPM, until I restart it (sometimes twice). Afterwards sometimes it can run beautifully or it can lag.
Been to two places one told me a fuel actuator, replaced nothing achieved. The next gave me error code P0803
Would love some advice, thanks in advance
Edit: Its only really bad on the inital startup after that its fine (laggy out of tune but goes) until it cools down
