He's already replaced the throttle actuator.

Just reread. Sorry.

I took my son to school today and when I made a U-Turn the car just died, I waited for about 30 min it started again and I drove it home. Cut it off and tried to start it again and nothing. So I have replaced the distributor caps and now have ordered the EZL and two coils you think this may have been some of my problems from the start??? I wished someone would put the Red Light code list for these S420's on here I have one but I don't think it's right because it says code 6 is not used. If somebody has this list or gets it e-mail me one (PLEASE) to
docaram1@yahoo.com or docaram@sbcglobal.net

Thanks

The red LED light that is built into the car only tests the diagnostic module.

The diagnostic module receives information from four other modules-- LH-SFI module (fuel injection), EZL-AKR module (ignition timing), EA module (engine accelerator a/k/a electronic throttle actuator ("ETA")), and the ABS/ASR module.

A code 6 on the diagnostic module is telling you there is a problem with your EA (ETA). You will need to test that specific module (EA module) by building the DIY tester and checking pin 7 of the 38-pin canon plug connector next to where the LED light is. The LED module will not check this pin. Here are the codes for the ETA from J. Forgione's excellent website: http://www.k6jrf.com/MB_EA.html


The problem could be something as simple as changing the neutral safety switch or stop lamp switch behind the brake pedal. I'm curious, how much did it cost to replace your ETA?
