My car is running fine which makes me very happy indeed.
I realize that this is not for forum for this car, but I am trying to help a friend who is having difficulties with a 2002 CLK320 with the same engine as mine. There are no Mercedes mechanics on the island where we live (Key West).
Car is running extremely rough and stalling out. Codes are P300 (?) and P304 (multiple or random misfires)
Plugs are new. Bosch MAF is one year old. CPS was replaced 2 years ago.
Mechanic said that he was getting bad readings for MAF. He removed the Bosch MAF and put in a new aftermarket MAF. The engine ran great and smoothly for a few minutes and then went right back to running roughly and stalling out as it did before. When the mechanic pulled the new MAF he had just put it, he said it smelled burned.
He checked for vacuum leaks and said that there were none.
His final analysis: He has no clue how to fix the car and suggested taking it elsewhere (he did not charge for his time). He said maybe the problem was electrical, or the computer.
Anyone have an idea of where to look before seeking help off the island?
Thanks
