Well, a worn airflow meter potentiometer will cause problems at idle and off-idle acceleration, if performance is pretty normal once you get the rpms up. Reason is, this is the range where the wiper spends most of the time, and the element wears thru. If you disconnect the pot's plug, and idle steadies out, this is the problem. Part available from Bosch (check past threads) or with the whole airflow meter from MB sources, if you're rich.
