What a coincidence. The same thing happened on our 300TE, except it accelerates by itself. Took the air cleaner out, took the throttle linkages out and cleaned and lubricated the ball joints thoroughly. Also cleaned the lever mechanism and adjusted the throttle cable and transmission bowden cable to reduce slack. As with the throttle linkages on my 300D, I used white lithium grease on the ball joints, the rollers and the bushings.
Now the car drives wonderfully and has instant response, and has no more self acceleration.
