Maintains speed but nothing when you try to accelerate.
When you stop and turn off engine then restart everything returns to normal.

I had this problem and was advised to take the cap of the brake pedal switch blow dust out of it then spray with WD 40. Repiace cap. It worked and has been fine for 8 months.

Check the turbo boost intake, a common problem with Sprinters. It is made of cheap plastic, and a hairline crack allows too much air to enter, sending the van into "limp mode" until the problem can be fixed and the computer reset at a dealer. There is an aftermarket alluminum billet turbo boost intake that replaces the stock plastic one. Also, maybe your fuel filter is clogged.

possable brake pedal switch, clutch pedal switch, or turbo boost pressure switch etc, even tho the engine management light may not be on, it still record faults so it may still pay to have a diagnostic check done to point you in the right direction
