I agree - I don't believe it was a "true" run away after talking to Roy. The fact the engine DID shut off and the RPM's were steady at 5-6k RPM and not climbing...
Roy suggested it may be the cruise control - which is already flaky on the car - so I'm going to pull the linkage off the cruise control today.
Thanks everyone,

that happened to me on my 300SD; cruise control just set to full throttle for no reason while i was in a parking lot. very scary. never had a problem after disconnecting the cruise control linkage.
