A friend recently bought an 1998 E55 AMG. When he got the car, the AFM was disconnected, and the car ran relatively ok, except sometimes stalling.

Replaced the LMM with a new (known brand, not no-name junk), and the fault codes disappeared - but the car acts up. When just letting it idle and creep, it will be just fine, but as soon as you touch the gas, the car starts bucking and "jumping", but it does not miss. As soon as it somehow stabilizes, it runs okay, and power is just as it should be.

No fault codes (with Star), thinking I should read the air flow values, but can't find any specifications on what it should be.

Any ideas on what causes this problem and what to check?
