I see that now, there is the possibility they were replaced with cheap rebuilds that have already failed. In any case I blew it and should have gone down there and got it.

Re: [MBZ] Hey Kleb - Here's the S600 You Missed!!!
BZZZT. Wrong. If you read the post, the MAFs have been replaced. The only real issue he’s got is a possible bad wheel sensor. It’s possible there is a bad wiring harness, but I’m willing to bet it’s been replaced. Sounds like someone was driving it, had issues, had them fixed but didn’t get the codes cleared. It’s in limp-home due to the bad wheel sensor. Remember, he only paid $1500 for the car. He’s got several thousand to go before he hits the value of the car. As long as he does the work himself, he’s going to end up with a pretty nice car for minimal $$. If anything drains his wallet, it will be the cost of fuel.

You were lucky to dodge THAT bullet. What a nightmare's list of honey-doos. On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 8:41 PM, Kaleb C.

Yea that's got to be it, sure was not as described to me by the seller, who said there were no warning or check engine lights on when I asked. It sounds like it's probably going to need a wiring harness and both the throttle actuator things replaced, the cost of the parts alone is well over the purchase price of the car. Still sort of wish I had not screwed around and missed it. Oh well.
