What a great resource site. Thanks to all that have provided the information. I have found the diagram for the code extractor that Arthur Dalton posted. I will get this put together in the next couple days and let you know what codes I get.

I kinda felt the dealer didn't want to get involved with the problem. I am inclined to think the problem may be vacuum related. This morning I tried to operate the throttle from under the hood and I got no response even wide open. I went into the car and gave it gas and it worked. I did notice the ASR light was on. I restarted the car and it went off. As I understand the throttle is vacuum operated however when I looked up the throttle actuator on the Benzbin website it says the throttle actuator is only for cars without ASR?
