190E 2.3-16 :: sticking accelerator

Oct 18, 2004 0 Replies

Hi everyone,



I have the above car with a slight problem: The accelerator keeps sticking down and reving the engine like mad. It seems to mostly happen when moving off after idling for a while (or moving off when the engine is hot). It



*always* happens in traffic jams -- the stop-start motion seems to set it off.

I've cleaned and oiled the linkage but it's not made much difference.



Any ideas please?



Many thanks, R
