indicate a problem with the Mass Air Flow sensor.
I would like to try cleaning it.
Could I do it this way:
Open up the air cleaner.
Discard old air filter.
Clean out the interior with a wet cloth.
Start engine.
Spray Mass Air Flow Cleaner into air intake.
Install new air filter.

I had the same problem on my 2001 SLK. I removed the MAF and sprayed it with MAF cleaner, re-installed it and cleared the codes. No problems since.
I think you should remove the MAF to clean it.
