When the engine is hot and missing, stop it, and quickly check the compressions.

Hello there i had the same prob on my 2000 230 komp at 120,000 miles missing all over the place ,the idling was eratic it turned out the maf sensor was faulty ! i put a new bosch one on problem solved . Aparently according to the merc specialist the diagnostic machine wont always pick up maf sensor faults and mine was really bad could hardly even drive the car .
