E55 AMG problem any advice is appreciated !!!
hey guys I'm new here since this is my first Mercedes Benz and I've had it for close to a year now i love the car it treats me good and docent break on me but something feels weird at first i though it was a transmission problem but since then i went to the mercedes benz dealer and asked to diagnose my car so they spent 2 hours changed me 150$ and couldn't find nothing wrong it then the mechanic starts telling me that he would need another 2 hours to try to find the problem and my cost would go from 150$ to 350$ and he thinks that i have a problem with my engine I'm like i don't think so because i have a independent shop in my area that I've taken all my cars to and i had quite a bit of them plus they are good friends of my fathers we do own our own body shop and they do all of out mechanical work the german cars and they specialize with mercedes benz they told me my engine and absolutely fine and there is nothing wrong it it that is where i do all my maintenance but besides all that at the dealers they gave me a print out of all the codes that been logged in my system over a long period of time and a lot of them say that (The Supply Voltage of the Control Unit is too low)(under voltage) and i cant figure out the problem and the main thing that i wanted to point out at the beginning that every-time i floor the car it feels like its chocking until it reaches 4000 rpm and then it start pulling fine if anyone ever had something like this going on please any advice about what to repair would be greatly appreciated !!!

simply put the car runs fine and drives fine but when it comes time to floor it it struggles untill 4k RPM and then starts pulling fine but from 1-4k rpm it feels like it wants go but it wont go any faster untill it reaches 4k rpm then it pulls really nice like if i want to spin my wheels even on the wet road it would do like half a spin and rpm's would go up with no kick feels like it only produces a good push after 4k rpms before it wouldnt speed up at all ! ill post some pics in a second of my diagnostics from the dealer gave me !

Clean your MAF, check the fuel system, check all ground points, have the charging system load tested...
Seems like you have a variety of issues... I can't put my finger on it. How many miles do you have and what kind of maintenance have you done on it?

i got this from another forums too
TPS sensor, in front of the master cylinder. The throttle cable hooks to it. Pull the plug and use electronic cleaner on the plug and the sensor. Let it dry befor you plug it back in. Used ones are $45 on ebay or a new one is $125 at autohaus. I bought my E55 4 weeks ago and it was doing the same thing. Fixed it about 10 days ago, very happy with it now.

the stored undervoltage codes is from when your battery died in the past. Have your codes cleared and run another quick test to determine if there are any current faults. Nothing in the photos you posted indicates a problem related to the car being underpowered.

It's just a test. See if the engine reves up better.
But I agree. A new MAF is probably in your future.
