broke down run away motor

So the MB has been running rough when hot and at a stop sign today it blew a huge cloud of black smoke. I pulled over, shut it down , and the motor raced on. No codes so I fifigure something mechanical went in the IP. Any place good to find a rebuilt unit? Still on the side of the road waiting for a tow.

I would do some serious checking before just assuming it is the injection pump.
