ASR Light
Hello guys, posted a few threads about this issue but never got any check light, until now.
It started a few months back when my 500 started idling rough, surging, and longer crank times on colder mornings. I recently replaced my EZL/ICM that seemed to just have gone bad and may not be related.
Replaced coils, caps, and rotors. Wires and sparks are fine. After all this the problem ensued, so I finally took it to MB. They stated my fuel pumps were bad, two new Bosch pumps later and problem persists, I must say it does seem to run a little better w/ the new pumps.
Well today I got an ASR light, no limp mode but its intermittent and just drove 40miles w/ no recurrence. I am taking it to MB on Monday or Tuesday but was hoping for some feedback. I know at one point there was a code for throttle actuator, no check light though and on some records I see a new one was replaced for $1,250 about 3-4k miles ago.
I luckily have a few other cars I could drive but this one keeps calling me to drive it, so I need a fix asap.![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Any thoughts???

ASR
I Just replaced my battery with an Interstate MTP 93 after bringing my 93 500e out of winter storage. Changed plugs,caps, rotors & wires and 3 days later car runs great and the annoyingly intermittent ASR/limp mode light no longer comes on. Don't know how old you battery is but that may be a place to look.
