I believe like most other Mercs of that vintage, the car is doing 2nd gear starts and it should be kicking down if you are launching aggressively. So I would check the kick down switch for one. That said, guessing you have some general housekeeping wich would include addressing your fuel and ignition systems. I would start with fuel and injection condition ala Seafoam, and unless you have records of recent service. Replace, cap, rotor, ignition wires and spark plugs and try to stick with copper core wires and plugs. Not saying this is the problem, but can make a VERY substantial difference if these wear items are not replaced in a timely matter.
Welcome and enjoy the site!
