I just found the problem with mine. I finally got a day off, got the Yamaha cleaner, pulled the FD and started to fill the holes. When I turned it to fill the last two holes, I noticed that the part number on the FD ended with 012. This is the wrong FD. It fits a 300E. The 300SL takes either 0438101043 or 0438101044. I guess the PO took the car to a mechanic that didn't do his homework. Fortunately, a wrecker on eBay had the entire AFM assembly from a 1992 300CE w/ 98k miles for $279 and it is on the way.

If I have a problem with my Mercedes, I go to MercedesShop. If I have a problem with my BMW, I go to BimmerNut.
If I have a probem with my Dell, I reboot it. I was an engineer for them for 10 years and we blamed everything on Microsoft.
