[FONT=verdana, arial, helvetica]I own a 96 C200, and I've been having problems with my idle. Sometimes it would jump up and down, etc.

The whole wiring harness has been replaced, so there is no wiring harness issues.

Finally, I sorted out the problem, and it leads me to the throttle body harness assembly. I opened up the throttle body, and the wiring insulation was shot, so I rewire the throttle body.

After the rewiring, the problem got even worse, the car cannot idle anymore, it revs all the way to the 4000rpm idle rev cutoff.

I checked everything, even the process, the pinout, etc. I still can't find the problems. Anybody has any ideas what's going on here? Or, if you have any complete wiring diagram for the throttle body? or maybe, if someone is kind enough to open the throttle body, and take pictures of the wiring inside, or even helping me looking at your pinout, in case I made some mistakes on tracing the wires. My car is still using the PMS computer by the way and the engine wiring harness has been replaced already.

Thank you

will getting the diagnostic trouble codes read, help ?

it might show the fault as something else.
 
You may have a problem with the throttle cable/linkage/return spring broken>? If its a "fly by wire" throttle the sender unit on the accelerator side may be faulty?
