i have a problem with my benz.....the idle goes crazy and it wont accelerate right, i changed the air mass censor and it fixed it for a bit but i suspect the throttle body is crapping out on me....

I really couldn't tell from that video. I hope you don't run your box open like that all the time. There is nothing to filter the crap from going into the motor. If you want the supercharger noise then you need to have an intake made that uses a cone filter.

nope i never run it like that i was just checking what the problem could be

ill take a better vid and show you what it does....but recently when i connected it, it showed the bas light and it didnt wanna accelerate and when i took it off it ran again

What year is it? C220? C280? C230k?

I just had this problem recently. Change either your spark plugs or coil packs. It's either or, or both.

@sulaco its a 2000 c230 kompressor....and ill try the coil pack thank u

Where did you buy your MAF? If it was from eBay there are known Bosch fakes and they can be bad straight from the box or fail quickly. If you got it from a known parts reseller like AutohausAZ or similar then you should be OK in that regard and start looking at the coils or plugs as suggested.

My idle goes crazy too. The car shuts off within seconds after staring if I do not move the car immediately. The ASR light illuminates, and I have to shift the car manually by letting off the gas pedal at certain RPMs. The problem with my car is that the throttle actuator is bad and I need a replacement. This may not be the same problem as yours, but the strange idle issues were an early sign of my throttle actuator going bad. I hope this helps.
