2001 E320 4matic Estate

I think I found my problem

Cel on and running rich. Hard starting every once and a while idle surge. So I figured I would take a look. Guess my first thought was the right one.

Anyone have a cheap place to buy a new throttle body?

Not sure. I didnt get the TB off yet. I'll get it off tomorrow. As far as I know it doesn't have ASR. Its a 96 e320 sedan.

Both 95 and 96 non-ASR 104s are 000 141 57 25, but you wouldn't want to replace a throttle actuator over crumbling wire - too easy to rewire it.

I have a 002-140-2453 (B1 290)
It is pictured below. I don't have the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) with it, just the mechanical body.

Sure, fairly common practice. Here's a DIY on it - http://www.restoreyourmercedes.com/M...%20rewire.html There are others as well if you do a search. Most people really over-do it, military grade wire, etc.
