Hello folks!

As some might recall, I was having a few codes come up on my E420.

At that time, I noted a buzzing sound coming from the middle of the engine, but couldn't really narrow it down any. Well.... I gave it a closer look, and have decided that it is the electronic throttle actuator that is making the noise. It sounds like a gear isn't catching a tooth - Once I moved the throttle linkage a little, it sounded like it would catch and the sound would go away.
I am guessing that some gear isn't able to close the throttle plate all the way anymore, but, if I move the throttle cable a little (wether by hand or foot), I can get it to catch.
Any opinions on this guess of mine?
Is it time to look for a new/rebuilt EA (ETA) ?

Thanks,
-Larry
