Greetings all,

I hope everyone and their loved ones are doing well.

As mentioned above my 2000 CL500 is lagging (no kick-down) when accelerating with throttle floored, then seems to hiccup at 3500 rpm before releasing its power to redline.

Car seems OK otherwise and drives normally - just doesn't seem to 'give it up' like she used to when pushed.

I'm curious to see if anyone has experienced a similar symptom.

Love the car - Rides like a dream and it's always been a gem for the 12 years of ownership - But the above situation has me perplexed.

SEARCH function showed a couple of possible options, but nothing concrete so I'm inquiring with other owners or any auto mechanics here.

Throttle Actuator?
MAF sensor need cleaning or replacing?
TPS?

Thanks.

CL500 feels very sluggish

Hey everyone! I wanted to ask you guys does your CL500 feel slow under 3.5k rpm because mine is very sluggish from a stand still if I mash the gas pedal it is so slow, slow as in other cars just driving normally could pass me, anyways I was also next to my friend in his 2016 c300 and that car...
