Holy Hanna! Now I am confused and decidedly upset!
Take a look at this:

When I went to look for the "throttle actuator" it says: "Note:
Not for models with ARS
Cruise control actuator only for models without ASR." And the thing costs $1514.70! 
Now does this mean this part does not fit on my engine? And, if this is not the throttle body actuator for my 96 E320 ... where do I go to find one? I sent an email to Phil ...maybe he knows. And how can I be more certain this is the mother that is causing my ASR fault? Man, this is one heck of a big purchase just to try and see if this is the problem...
I ordered the brake light switch ... $23 shipped to my house ... I can handle that ... that's a throwaway price .. but $1500! Oh man ... I'm retired ...
Maybe we can start up a collection (LOL) ...
