Please Help!! Rough idling C32 amg

one beautiful day witch was a Saturday, i just woke up jumped into my lovely Red C32! as soon as i start it, it just starts idling like crazy Rpm's are jumping to 1100 to 4500, i immediately shut of my benz, after a few moments started it up again, same thing started happening, high RPM'S , rough idling.
if anyone knows what it might be please let me in on it, I'll try to make a video to make easier to understand.

Have a look for a vacuum leak (LHD side rear airbox hose from the ypipe), check the throttle body (disconnect the plug and reconnect), try a throttle reset: https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c...et-smokes.html
Check all the leads are in place etc. If still playing up remove the ypipe and spray some throttle body cleaner (maybe some crud on the butterfly). After that I would check the voltage of the battery/alternator
" If you don't have Comand then it won't work.
Put the key in the ignition and turn to position 1 so the comand starts.
Press SYS button
Select AUX
Hold down Mute, number 1 and number 3 for about 20 seconds.
Now the Comand should be in diagnose mode.
Scroll down to Infos and select that.
In that menu you should find the battery voltage"
Check the codes (dealer star) or with your obdII scanner and take it from there.

This happened to me too, went away for no reason and happened 3 times over the past year. I still don't know why. My research hints towards a bad throttle pedal.
