After doing some research, I've discovered a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin No. 30/4) issued June 1992

It states "The affected control modules contain software that mey be too sensitive to certain conditions, resulting in the ASR warning lamp lighting, or the Electronic Accelerator system entering "limp-home" mode, combined with the storage of false failure codes. The codes tend to be related to the Electronic Accelerator actuator and the CAN-bus, but are enot always consistent."

The TSB also states a production date after 16/92 (or) that the "K"-number nust be K11 or greater for the 124.034 model, which is the 400e. (K10 or gerater for the 124.036, K12 or > for 140.032 and K10 or > for 140.042 and 140.051)

Well, my 400e has a K10 mfr in '91.

I don't know if a new module will fix my problem, (remember the EA and the wire harness have supposedly been replaced by the PO - and I have no reason to doubt him) but my symptoms are pretty much inline with the TSB's symptoms.

I have contacted the Local MB dealer and am awaiting a return call to see what the story is, he did tell me that there is an open campaign on my vehicle, cross my fingers and hope it's related to the module, then cross my toes and hope the new module fixes my car's issues.
