mysterious engine racing??
I took my 380 out for a spin today and mysteriously and all of a sudden the engine started racing. Even at a dead stop I had to keep my foot solidly on the brake or off she would go. This lasted for about 2 minutes, then it went back to normal.Any thoughts on what would cause this?
Had to tell my 17 year old, sorry no Mercedes tonite. thanks guys, rememberjeff

Jeff,
Two things I could think of. Idle speed controller or rusty throttle linkage. When I had my 380 se, I had both. The linkage scared the ... out of my wife and I. Car got to about 65 in a 25 before I could shut it down, dan

Welcome to 107 ownership.
Do a search on Idle and you'll get quite a few excellent tests to determine the cause.
