Hey guys im new to this site and new to owning a mercedes.
i have 01 S430 and been having a few issues with my vehicle.
first i would like to add that my car had a pedal issue i replaced the
pedal and had issues with it being programmed to my car but found out
it was an electrical issue. the mechanic that worked on my car told me
that he tried his best to fix it but cant seem to get it working correctly.
when i start the vehicle the gas pedal doesnt work.
but if i started with the pedal in a lil bit it works but i have to keep the pedal in the entire time over the number 1 on the rpm if not it will stop working
even while im at a red light i have to keep one foot on the brake and one foot on the gas pedal pressing it in a lil bit to keep the pedal working

i need help does anyone know whats the problem?

the mechanic told me that i needed to flash my car computer and update it
so i can regulate the pedal to work normal i didnt understand what he meant.

thanks.

The Gas pedal assembly has to be replaced. It is about a $200 part.
