I believe that the 96 E320 still had the four speed auto of the W124 car; if so check under the accelerator pedal and you will find an electrical "kick-down" switch located at the firewall. Check to make sure this component is working correctly. There will also be a kick-down solenoid on on the tranny that can fail.
Good luck in sorting this all out. I owned a W124, 400E, and the kick-down was always problematical; I know what a pain [and potentially a danger] that can be when you need to get going fast.

p0400
is an emissions related code,egr needs to be cleaned or hoses checked for leaks.
the trans may be affected by the same leak if the trans vac line is mated to the same fitting.

check all vac lines to the transmission.

most trans codes would start with P07 or P08.

pass side under the last bend in the air intake tubing coming off the maf.Look for any vac line that is off ,brittle or broken.
