Well guys just as you all stated and in similar posts off the site, the CEL light went off after replacing the MAS, Mass Airflow Senor! Hurray! I found one on the web for $168.00 original MB part still in the box, got out my handy dandy screwdriver loosened the clamp, unsnapped the the snap switched it out and evrything is fine. It took a day and half for the actual CEL light to go out just as Gilly and and MB man said so I am guessing that the MAS was in fact the problem abd not hte O2 sensors as the OBD II said it was. I actually noticed some improvements in performance also that I should mention like the idle speed is greatly improved I mean it doesn't jump up and down when idling at a light with the AC running near as much, it seems to have gained some control back, the shifting also seems improved I mean the down shift from 2-1 when nearing a stop, and overall pep has improved to a great extent. One more thing I noticed is that the gas mileage seems to have also improved, that is by the on board estimates of the trip computer they are much higher without changing the way that I drive. On average it seems to have added 2-3 mile per gallon of gas, not major but at todays prices in Houston, TX that is signifcant. A fill up with Premium is running between $35.00 - $40.00 with a quarter of a tank left. Thanks to all who have helped me on this matter couldn't have done it without you guys. You all are fabulous!
