What should I do if my C320 misfiring cylinder?
Perhaps 2 to 1, and 3 to 4. Then reset the CEL light. If the misfire becomes 1 and 4 afterwards, then its most likely bad ignition coils. Also, If your car has never had the MAF sensor changed, I’d change that with a Bosch unit ($110 on ebay).
Is there an issue with my 2002 C240?
I have a 2002 C240 and I’ve recently had an issue while driving. I’ve read similar posts to this one but someone always writes their own issues that are different from this matter.
Why does my Mercedes Benz engine misfire so often?
Engine misfires are one of the most common problems we see in many Mercedes-Benz cars. To be honest, it is not because MB cars are weak in this area, but because most owners forget that spark plugs are wear items and need to be replaced at the recommended intervals.
Can a clogged catalytic converter cause a misfire?
A catalytic converter that is clogged and is restricting the exhaust gasses from leaving the engine can also trigger multiple cylinder misfire. If your catalytic converter is clogged you will notice a drastic drop in fuel efficiency and real struggle getting your Mercedes to accelerate. If the cat is completely clogged your car won’t even start.

What can cause a cylinder 2 to misfire?
There are many factors that can cause a cylinder 2 misfire—the most common of which are the following: Fuel delivery issues (e.g., a faulty fuel injector or damaged injector circuit) Ignition system problems (e.g., a failed coil pack or worn spark plug )
Why does my Mercedes engine misfire when I change the spark plug?
Keep this in mind especially if you change the spark plugs in your Mercedes and you are still getting an engine misfire. Fuel pressure can cause engine misfire as well.
Why is there a p0302 code on my cylinder 2?
It’s worth noting that, if other misfire codes accompany a P0302, there will likely be more than one potential cause. Code P0302 by itself is a good indicator that the problem is with cylinder 2 only. On the other hand, multiple misfire codes can indicate an issue, such as a vacuum leak or low fuel pressure, that affects various cylinders.

What kind of misfires do Mercedes Benz have?
Real-life repair scenario: 2003 E320, with 3.2L V6 engine and 120,000 miles. A customer brings his car into the shop with a “strange vibration.” After we scanned the vehicle, we found the following DTCs: P0305, misfire on cylinder #5; and P0301, misfire on cylinder #1.
What happens when Mercedes diesel engine is not running?
As Mercedes DPF traps and holds soot, with time it reaches a point when it needs to be ‘emptied out’. This is done by regeneration. During this automated process, engine computer rises exhaust gasses temperature over 630°C. This burns up soot particles. However, if the engine is not running correctly automatic regeneration will not be started.
What was the problem with my 2003 ml500?
Problem is the pulley is made of plastic and cracked in two, leaving 1/2 the pulley and shredding the belt. This occurred at driving speed of 50 mph and mileage around 169,650 on 2003 ML500. This was very dangerous. I was able to pull off the freeway as I was driving in the lane nearest freeway exits.
Where are misfire codes stored in a Mercedes?
Luckily for you, the misfire codes are stored in the ECU and are very easy (and inexpensive) to retrieve. To diagnose an engine misfire on a Mercedes all you need is a generic OBD II code reader that can be bought in some cases for under 20 at your local auto parts store or on Amazon’s Best Selling OBD II scanners list.
What causes a cylinder to misfire in a Mercedes?
In most cases, a cylinder misfire is caused either due to old spark plugs that need to be replaced. A failed ignition coil or a bad spark plug wires. If none of the above fixes your misfire problem carefully analyze the fault codes, it is possible that misfire may be indirectly caused by another problem in the engine.
What does the p0303 code on a cylinder 3 mean?
The P0303 code means that the cylinder 3 is misfiring or is randomly misfiring. Start by checking for intake leaks and if no leaks are found the next step is to replace the spark plugs on cylinder 3. If the problem persists more tests needs to be done to diagnose problem, see “Possible Causes” What does this mean?
What kind of engine problem does 2003 e320 have?
Automotive Electronics Diagnostician Sergio Fernandez discusses how to solve those strange, intermittent engine vibrations on a 2003 E320, with 3.2L V6 engine and 120,000 miles. The diagnosis begins with these findings: DTC P0305, misfire on cylinder #5; and DTC P0301, misfire on cylinder #1.

Can a bad ECU cause all cylinders to misfire?
A faulty Engine Control Unit (ECU) can cause multiple random misfire codes. A bad ECU will most likely cause misfire codes on all cylinders, but it may affect only specific cylinders in a few rare cases.
