1991 w124 300ce 24 valve
w124 computer is turning off

Problem #1: Hello all, I own a 1991 w124 300ce 24v, when i floor it or punch the accelerator but not reach the kickdown switch my car's computer shuts down but then the car starts to accelerate a lot faster all of a sudden and my rpms are at a 1000 at idle so i just turn the car off and on and everything is fine again. Anyone has any idea why the cars computer is shutting down?

Problem #2: sometimes my cars throttle response is very fast while driving normally (most of the times when the car is cold) then all of a sudden the throttle response is slow and you feel like the car has no power anyone knows why?

Check the micro switch is contacting the quadrant and that its working right .Should be pressed in at idle no key in the car, it opens as you put your foot on the gas
