Ml320 goes into limp mode

**pinky1970** · 23rd September, 2010, 09:11 AM

Ml320 sometimes goes into limp mode and misfires when i start and put under load up hill, getting ideas, i have just changed the plugs.

Start by having the fault codes read and then post them.

**pinky1970** · 23rd September, 2010, 10:17 AM

Fault code showing, different banks and diferent cylinders, it not the same cylinder or same bank, otherwise i would think the coil pack. cant remeber the code number.

Have a look at the map sensor

**rocket1** · 10th October, 2010, 06:34 PM

hi
this problem is a airflow meter, vacuum or air leak, or both!

**pinky1970** · 10th October, 2010, 09:28 PM

When you say airflow meter, do you mean air mass senor.

here you have one image </title></head><body onload='if (!window.parent.StateManager || window.parent.StateManager.frameSaving) return;window.parent.StateManager.restore(decodeUR IComponent(document.body.innerText));'>"+enc(b)+"</body></html>");c.close();a.frameSaving=false}

did the problem occur b4 changing the plugs or after ?

if it was doing it b4 then the usual cause is the air mass sensor but the adaptation data will need resetting after replacement as previous posts have mentioned

the wiring to the coil packs can rub through on the rocker cover bolts

if the misfire occured after replacing the plugs then more likely to be plug leads swap them to different cylinders and see if the misfire moves

good luck
