My Mercedes E300 check engine light came on for mass air flow sensor. I replaced the fuel filter and the mass air flow sensor and reset the engine light. The light came back on for the same thing. While driving at low speeds it is jerking a lot, it also has zero power as far as acceleration goes. What should I do?

Hi Chris.

p0304 = Number 4 Cylinder Misfire Detected

Faulty spark plug 4
Clogged or faulty fuel injector 4
Faulty ignition coil 4
Fuel injector 4 harness is open or shorted
Fuel injector 4 circuit poor electrical connection
Ignition coil 4 harness is open or shorted
Ignition coil 4 circuit poor electrical connection
Insufficient cylinder 4 compression
Incorrect fuel pressure
Intake air leak

The P0304 code means that the cylinder 4 is misfiring or is randomly misfiring. Start by checking for intake leaks an if no leaks are found the next step is to replace the spark plugs on cylinder 4.


p0102 = Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input

Faulty mass air flow sensor
Intake air leaks
Dirty mass air flow sensor
Dirty mass air filter
Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection

Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner.
Reset code and drive vehicle.
If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.


p0154 = O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected Sensor 1 Bank 2

Faulty Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2
Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 harness is open or shorted
Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 circuit poor electrical connection
Inappropriate fuel pressure
Faulty fuel injectors
Intake air leaks may be faulty
Exhaust gas leaks

Replacing the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 usually takes care of the problem.


p0113 = Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High

Faulty Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor
Dirty air filter
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor harness is open or shorted
Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit poor electrical connection

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor is built into mass air flow sensor or in some vehicles mounted to the air filter duct housing. The sensor detects intake air temperature and transmits a signal to the Engine Control Module (ECM).The temperature sensing unit uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. Electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases in response to the temperature rise. The Intake Air Temperature signal is used as an input for various systems in the vehicle.



Hope this helps

Clean mass air flow sensor pins, this should fix it.

ok lets start with the codes they say your getting. P??? which 1's and how many. there are few o2 sensors, are they next to the Exhaust next to the converter? MASS AIR FLOW -MAF use this, for now i am guessing, until i see the correct codes your are getting. this could be the 1 you may have below, please read it........

• P0103
  Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit High Input
• Possible causes
• Faulty mass air flow sensor
  - Intake air leaks
  - Dirty mass air flow sensor
  - Dirty mass air filter
  - Mass air flow sensor harness is open or shorted
  - Mass air flow sensor circuit poor electrical connection
• Before replacing the mass air flow sensor, try replacing the air filter and cleaning the air flow sensor with low compress air or mass air flow sensor cleaner. Reset code and drive vehicle. If the code comes back, it may be necessary to replaced the mass air flow sensor.
• possible symptoms Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
  - Engine stall
  - Engine running rough
  - Excessive fuel consumption
  - Excessive smoke
• the code is generated when An excessively high voltage from the sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM).

When is the code detected?An excessively low voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.

bad fuel filter maybe or air filter or you need new spark plugs or wires or a new distributor

Remove the mass air flow,and clean it with intake cleaner spray,or mass air flow cleaner spray,if this does not help,reset the system again,by removing the negative battery cable for at least 20 seconds,then put it back on,if this does not help,replace the mass air flow sensor

oh dear, its still that mass air flow sensor playing up, there very easy to damage just one tuch will do it, try another one but be very jentel when you fit it

Start with smaller problems and check the fuel pressure regulator, the mass air flow sensor for these vehicles is pretty pricy. Is the check engine light on? If so, head to your nearest auto zone and have them check for trouble codes. If the check engine light isn't on, its not likely your mass air flow sensor
