I would also check to see if your air flow sensor is still functioning properly. They tend to develop a fault over time.

The proper Bosch wire set will run you over a $100 for the inline 6. Replace the spark plugs with only the Bosch Super Copper plugs like it originally came with. They are about $3 each. Never install platinum plugs in the inline 6. Even the Bosch +2 and +4 plugs are not good for that engine. If you did just install them, that would be why you have having sluggish performance.

My car sat at the body shop to get the bumper repainted then when i got it back It ran very slow and the battery was reset cause i had to re enter the code for the radio. and after that i brought the car to get the check engine light fixed but they aren't very smart and over charged me. so now I hope the check engine light doesn't come back on but the only thing is that it drives like it's running on 2 or 3 cylinders. I'm going to try the spark plugs first.

E-klass, these plugs, are they the "F8DPP332" also OEM for a 99 e320 wagon 4x v6? Great price, where do you normally shop for parts? I need to change my plugs too (among other things), and I am looking for a good online place to purchase them, any suggestion?

Thanks again.

The Inline 6 takes a different plug (Bosch Super copper F8DC4) than the V6. It also takes twice as many because the V6 has 2 per cyl (F 8 DPP 332).

There are a number of online places to order them for around $6 to $7.
