I have just purchased an 07 c230 that seems to be in excellent condition except for the following problem.

From a dead stop, it takes quite a bit of accellerator pedal movement (around an inch or so) before anything happens. The engine does not rev. Nothing. Then when the pedal has been pressed that inch or so, all of a sudden, the engine will pick up. It is very annoying. Drive or Reverse, ESP on or off, Transmission in C or S. It doesn't matter.

At idle, there is no miss, shake, or vibration. Once up to speed, the car shifts fine and has plenty of power.

The car is still under factory warranty and I have an appointment (appointment for a car repair?) with the dealer Monday morning.

Any ideas? I don't want to go to the dealer/service without any ammunition.

Thanks

Wayne
