If you are having a problem with the traction control system, it can prevent going above idle.
Not on a 92 300e. All mechanical throttle linkage via cable, and rods with ball and socket type joints.

Maybe the microswitch on the throttle linkage? They can cause problems but I dont know about anything that severe...
But overall I'd have to agree about something being broken on the throttle linkage and internittently not engaging or getting stuck.
I assume this is the m103?
