C230 shudder problem solved

I figured it out. I had to replace the plugs and the plug wire ends. Thats all, problem solved. I thought I would have to replace the coil, but learned that it was the plug wire ends that go bad,.

The mechanic did not know for sure from the scan, but was guessing on a few things. Before I let him guess with my pocketbook, I figured that I would check here to see if anyone has had similar problems, and what the solution was. I changed plugs, wires, coil packs. Did not help...
Any takers on this one??? (oh yeah, 141,000 km or approx 87,000 miles)

I have the exact same car. Have a "p0304" ERROR CODE. I already replaced the MAF but am having the same problem.

I am wondering if I am supposed to reset something after I replaced the MAF, or erase the code or what.

From everything I have heard, the MAF should have fixed the problem, so I cannot help but wonder if I missed a step.

PLEASE HELP
