| Engine nearly stalls, no codes 2002 ML320 67000 miles
Nearly every morning, you can start the vehicle, pull out and drive it 3/4 mile down the road. Perfect. You stop at stop sign to clear traffic, press accelerator pedal and it nearly stalls. The wife has been complaining about it but I could never make it do it until this morning. Once it recovers, it drives fine for the rest of the day. I had the codes checked this morning. Nothing registered-system passed. Opinions? Fuel Filter, maybe?

That would be the first thing I would replace. Should have been done at 60,000 or sooner anyway. If that doesn't work, then I would run a bottle of Chevron Techron through the gas tank to clean things out a little. My 2 cents.  |

Might also be a vacuum leak from the airbox to the intake. Had this problem awhile back, one of the clamps was lose and the computer was adapting to compensate. Stalled quite a few times as well. |

Filter? What a silly idea! You most likely need a new crankshaft position sensor. |
