It could be your Harness causing the TBA to fail, but a failing harness can damage the TBA too.
One thing that is of concern is the it sounds like you have some clicking relays too, the 93 has those goofy fuses, take each one out, inspect it, clean the ends, make sure you have no bad fuses as this will cause relay malfunction and can effect your engine controls as well.
Was the car running when you brought it home? You said you just let it sit and now this? You may have to spend some time on it, can you reach the prior owner to find out if the harness has been replaced? just curious, good luck!

no contact with the previous owner.
the car was running when i bought it but need minor work like shocks and a wax. but for some reason i suspected i was going to be in for a long ride.
today i started it up and it turned on fine (my ASR and ABS lights didn't stay on), so i drove it around the block and it seems to be running fine then i come to a stop and then hit the gas and the car doesnt respond poorly. the rpm went up to 2000 and its feels like the car is not getting any power, so i let go of the gas and quicky put my foot on the gas again and then it responds correctly, this thing went on and off with the response. i pull up to my house to check the oil level but i couldnt really read it, i walk around the car and it starts sounding a little shakey from underneath, when istand in the back of the car next to the exhaust tips it sounds weird kind of like a THSSS THSSS THSSS (like it wants to die out) and then the exhaust makes a lound popping noise, i then get in the car to put it away before it die's on me and when i put it in drive it shuts off.
do you know what this might be.
my mechanic (or anyone else in town) doesn't have the plug-ins to diaginose the car, and the mercedes dealer is 35 miles away.
with my options what do you suggest i do???
i appreciate all the help you and everyone else have given me so far.
thanks
