Hi everybody, new to the forum. My issue is when I release the brakes and the car starts moving when I step on the gas there's no response.
Would it be the throttle actuator or most likely the pedal replacement? Any help would be appreciated.

Buy a cheap ODB scanner and check/verify the throttle pedal position with the actual position.
Also, when you replace it, replace it with a Febi Bilstein (https://www.daparto.nl/onderdeel-zoe...Bilstein/37963)
Mercedes part number is: A2203000104

Thanx for your quick reply. I will bring it by my friends shop tomorrow and see what code it'll read.Hopefully it's the pedal replacement and not the throttle actuator.

I don't think you'll get any codes when the gas pedal is faulty, just compare the percentage that the tool reads out to the percentage that you actually press it in
