Thanks for the info guys,

whunter that is a great link, gives me a great place to start.

The 240D seems to have a very simple fuel system, so this should be pretty easy to track.

Oddly enough it did not just take off when I started the car, it just seemed to have a high idle when I started the vehicle and after I had been driving it would shoot right up when I put the clutch in. I may try fireing it up quickly with a buddy in the seat when I get out of work to see if it is a linkage issues. I will report back with more information after I take a look at the vehicle.
