W124 throttle body test

Hi
My throttle body 408.227/111/001 has stopped working. Does anyone know where I can find a wiring diagram or any tests I can do to see if the fault in in the unit?
thanks.

Buzzed all the connections out and they seem ok. The servo works fine on the bench, micro switch is good and the pots are smooth.
The symptoms are: Starts fine but rough with 700rpm in P; rpm drop to 400 when put in gear; very hesitant until 1800rpm then sweet.
Any thoughts of where to look next or shall I take to a workshop?! G

Is this problem likely to be the ECU? I can get one for £175. I order a voltage regulator and try that 1st.

Ok I bought an OBD1 tester. My 1994 E220 WDB1240422C1264 doesn’t seem to be listed but pin 8 is giving me error code 6 and 8. I can clear them but they come back if i switch off and on again. HFM sequential Multiport fuel injection says error 6 is unused and error 8 is limp home.
I have replaced the Over voltage relay and have a mass air sensor on order. Runs very lumpy until 2000rpm
Anyone any thoughts what i should do next?
