So I reset the TPS sensor, and presto! the things runs like a whole different car. I don't know if it's just me but the pedal feels heavier now also. Seemed mushy to me before. Much more responsive, and all symptoms have dissapeared!

I know the Benz guys had a reason for designing this car this way but it seems like a pain in the ***. If they were really on thier game they would have an option to "log in" as a specific driver. based on who is driving or thier mood that day. lol
