Your anti theft device is activated,you need to lock and unlock your doors a couple times with the key fob,not the key,and then you need to put the key in the ignition and start it,if you dont have your key fob,call your car dealer to get a new one,they are programmed for each car only,you cannot bypass it.

Lack of power seems to be a problem with the exhaust, shaky idle

When was the last time plugs, plug wires cap/s rotor/s and coilc were replaced? I would try that first. Also you have the starting year when mercedes was told by the US to use biodegradable insulation that was "cooked" by engine compartment heat. Try buymbparts.com for engine wiring harness and lower engine wiring harness to replace them.

The car is not starting, the engine is turning weakly

i Is the engine wire harness original? or has it already been replaced?
if its original, this may sound crazy unless you already know that MB has a big problem with the wires under the hood.
But your car may need a new engine wire harness.
They start to crumble leaving the wires bare in places to short together and cause all kinds of crazy things.
Your car is at the perfct age to start experiancing this problem.
Unfortunetly the best way to cure this is to replace the harness.
A harness costs about $900 new, plus labor.
To check the harness, I unwrap the wires in several places on top of the engine by the injectors, and for the ignition coils and a few other places, I then bend the wires around a little, and look for cracking or crumbling. If you see ANY cracks in the insulation, that is not good .
To replace the harness is acually easier than it looks. it takes one to two hours, even less if you done one before.
There is a high percentage of the MB that I have seen, have this harness problem..

Good luck, and I hope this info helps
