of course it could be plugged fuel or air filter. or a blockage in the fuel tank or in gas lines, so i would check for that.
New airfilter was just installed. The other filter element that looks as if it's supposed to have a line hooked up to it dosnt. Previous filters looked to have synge (?) marks.

I can hear a humming sound (when car is on) from the right rear tire area, sounds like a pump is struggling, and there's another hose just hanging there.

Just ordered the Service manual cd's, I hope the outline repairs like these well (this isnt just me first mercedes, its also my first car.)
