YES definitely the car has no "sole" cruise amp. It is a 95 E320, so it is a HFM 104 engine, which has EA (electronic accelerator). The cruise and idle speed control are all integrated into the EA module, and everything is controlled on the engine by the throttle motor (which has several names; the "actuator", etc). I believe you may see the term "EGAS" on a label on the module.

The OVP on a 124 is usually located behind the black plastic panel which is located behind the battery. You can fairly easily figure out how to pull that panel to access the OVP and any other modules behind there. The OVP is distinguishable by the clear plastic flip-open lid on the top of it, there is a fuse or two under that panel. Very easy to identify. Usually the OVP is help in place by a pair of metal tabs, one of which 9the front one) has a nut and bolt through a hole in the tab. Just LOOSEN the bolt and the whole OVP will slide forward, then you can disconnect the harness plug. Then transfer the nut and bolt to the new OVP and reinstall it.
It is probably worth it to at least try a new OVP, no guarantee here though.
