“My car, 1995 mercedes c280, backfires, stumbles, loses power, and sometimes dies while driving. I have replaced the plug wires, ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel pump, and filter. I have replaced the overload protection relay, the fuel pump relay, and the engine cooling fan relay. The battery and alternator have been replaced. All of these were done after contact with mercedes benz and dealers in both florida and tennessee. The wiring harness was replaced before I bought the car and is in good condition.”
