throttle

Hi Guys, This is my first post. I've recently become a 1990 Mercedes 190E (2.0 Manual) owner. I think I've got a problem with the throttle pedal. When I depress it the revs hardly rise until it's about 4cm down. After that it revs quite suddenly and strongly. Also, when I'm driving and come...

I've a 1992 190E 2.0 auto, 180K miles. Driving recently when felt the accelerator pedal 'give', and then became very sensitive ie little foot pressure needed to speed up very quickly. Auto gear changes up are very sudden (and jerky) - previously I could control gear change via slight lift off...

Hi I'm having major problems with my C180 (97/P), manual, saloon. On cold starts it starts but then cuts off. Second time around it starts but then idles to a point where at times it cuts out or remains on the borderline of cutting out unless i rev the engine. I had the car serviced...

60 miles with throttle stuck open. :crazy: BBC Link

Hi, I have recently had my SL500 (91) serviced (indy garage not MB). Since being serviced i have experienced a problem with the throttle. The pedal goes hard at about the midway point and the car will not go above 50mph!!!! This is not what I bought a 5 litre V8 for!!!! :mad: When you...

Hi, Anyone know where the THROTTLE PEDAL POSITION B SWITCH SENSOR is located. The thottle pedal sometimes does not respond and when it does it will only rev upto 2000 rpm + I have changed the complete pedal system with no joy? The problem does not happen all the time and when it does if...

dfggh Bought a very nice rust free W126 the other day but has a very heavy pedal. There was loads of play in the system which i have mostly removed but it needs a lead foot to move. All the ball joints are well greased. Any clues anyone before i break the back of the seat? :confused...

W124 E320 L Reg Coupe - Throttle Valve Housing Anyone know where I can get my hands on one of those? Needs to be the exact part: 000 141 5725 mercman (Ricky) does not have one. Other second hand parts people are asking about £300, no guarantees on whether what they sell you actually...

Hi all, Recently my W124 E220's throttle had became rather rough when you step on it. It used to be quite smooth so I was thinking whether it needs some lubrication on the throttle cable (is that what you call it?). If so, would anyone please give me some details as how to do it and what sort...

Having problems with acceleration, seems to accelerate normally to about half way down (pedal) then anything else seems flat with no response, even if i floor it it just doesnt seem to want to go over about 3000 revs, if i switch off then on again 5 mins later its fine for a couple of miles...

This is going to sound like a really dumb question but why does the throttle pedal on my 2001 w210 click regularly when depressed/released etc.? Is it supposed to and if so for what purpose?? Herbie

My car is currently extremely poorly, and after consulting a local Bosch expert/Mercedes mechanic, he is almost 100% sure that the problem lies with the throttle actuator. He also hinted that a throttle actuator would be extremely expensive to replace... After having a read around, I believe...

Hi all I'm looking for a throttle body (Yhrottle valvue actuator) for my Mercedes Benz E280 W124 series, 1994 model. Part No: 000 141 5725 A new one is far too expensive. If you could help me please... Regards Jaco

It sems that its maybe not the throttle sticking, it just gives that impression, what is actually happening is: when the clutch is pressed, going either up through or down gears the engine revs rise momentarily which fooled me into thinking it was the throttle, maybe it still is but whatever it...

the throttle on my 123 300d still sticks on momentarily, I blocked off the vac hole on top of injector pump and it seemed slighly better, not sure how to chech for leaks, any ideas? thanks richard

I just wanted to ask those in the know, how does the accelerator work on W202's? are they a traditional direct link to the engine, or is it more like 'fly-by-wire' i.e. the accelerator sends a signal to the ECU which then does the necessary. My car lost power again this morning but right at...

All, I need to get to the return spring on my 93 320CE. It looks like a lot of the top of the engine needs to come off to be able to get at it (inlet manifold etc..etc..etc)...... Anyone done this? Is there an easy way?
