my 430 clk is having problems when i reach about 4000rpms. it starts to stutter and feel like the rev limiter is kicking in. i took it to a local garage and they told me it needs an air mass sensor. they also told me that they could not do the job because the throttle stops have to be reprogrammed after the sensor is put in so i need to take it to a dealer.. the dealer wants to charge $350(which is too high) for the sensor and a couple of hours for labor. is it possible that this will not fix my problem and they will then need to fix something else. or maybe the current air mass sensor just needs to be reprogrammed. i don't know. these problems arose after I had a very deadbattery. also, is it true that there is reprogramming that needs to be done afterwards? if not any shop can do the work.
thanks.
