I was driving home from work and decided to turn on the cruise control, BIG MISTAKE!! once I hit the cc, the accelerator stuck, then the engine dieseled, then the peddle went to the floor with no acceleration. once I was able to stop the car I again pressed on the accelerator but had no engine rev. I think either the cable or the linkage is broken. PLEASE HELP!!!

What vehicle, year, make, model.
If possible vin#..

Ooops sorry.....1995 300D

I must re-boot, this will take a few moments.

The cable has broken.

There are two possible cables.
MB# 1243007730
MB# 1243007830
each is $77.00 USD

You can rig a temporary cable.

I use thin garage door cable + the mini clamps.

Looks junky, but it works..


.

thx but the problem i'm having is locating where its broken.

I will send you an e-mail in a few moments..

.

You have e-mail..

.

There are only two locations that break.
* At the engine cable connection.
* At the accelerator pedal lever - cable connection by your foot.

I hope the graphics help you

Have a great day.

Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it
