I have a 2001 Mercedes C240. When the engine is running with car stopped you can feel a bit of trembling. It also cuts off during driving and at slow speeds only. Like when I will the foot off the pedal crossing roundabouts or stopping at the traffic lights. I had the car checked using the computer and it came up with pedal sensor fault which I have replaced with a brand new one but the problem went away for about 5 days and is now back again. Whenever it stops I have to turn the engine off and back on and it is fine. It also does not cut off if I keep the engine at high revs.

The first thing you do is have the engine control module scanned for fault codes. I also suggest you buy a can of spray throttle valve cleaner and clean the throttle valve and the idle speed control valve.

SOURCE: my mercedes e300 (1989) starts and runs ok but then cuts out.

I had a similar problem with my 1986 300e , which got progressively worse until the car was no longer driveable, I changed out the fuel pump relay and the problem went away.

Mercedes C240 2002, when I drive slow there is no problem but when the rev's exceeds 4000rpm the car shuts down, engine is still running but nothing happens when I give gas, and the screen displays an ESP...

hmmm could be the ESP inductive sensors on the wheel hubs are caked with metallic fragments and not working properly. They may need a really good clean. Easy to do if you know how to work on cars yourself.

Trembling very bad

you havent gave much of a description on the trembling but i would say if it is trembling all the time maybe a engine mount as gone or if it is under braking maybe warped disc's! if it is drving and feels a bit juddery and tractor like then it may be running with a cylinder down so check spark plugs and leads etc, sorry but this is all i can think of from your description of the prob.

Where are air filters located on 2001 mercedes c240

there air 2 air filters located inside the black, plastic engine cover assembly. remove the 2 accordion like inlet tubes on each side of the engine cover/airbox. yank straight up from the back of the box closest to the windshield with a little force to remove the entire air box/engine cover assembly. you will need a #20 torx bit driver. turn the air box upside down and loosen all the torx bits on both sides. the screws will not come completely out of their holders. remove each rectangular box and you will see the air filters inside. make sure when reinstalling the air box/engine cover, that the round air inlet hole sits properly onto the air mass meter and all 4 corners of the box pop back into their clips
