Q: Poor acceleration

If your car has not had a major service that has involved replacing spark plugs and all the filters that might be all that you need. Mercedes recommends replacing the plugs at 100 k but I prefer to do it more often (about 60 K) just to prevent having them seize up in the head. When under acceleration, the resistance in the combustion chambers is at it’s highest, so any ignition fault will show up then. I’m more concerned about the smell of anti freeze. You may have a small leak in the system or you might even have a leak in the heater core which is why you smell it inside. I don’t believe you would be smelling it if it was coming out of the exhaust while you are moving. Your should be sure to have that checked out as well.
