Did you pull the throttle body and make sure the insulation is ok there? the wiring harness has 99% probability of having failed and been replaced. The throttle body and MAF are likely culprits. Since the diagnostic points to the throttle body, I'd pull enough stuff to inspect it. On the

Re: [MBZ] OT 1994 e420 woes

There is only one way to check the insulation on the throttle body harness, and that’s to split the jacket and check the individual conductors. The outer jacket was made with rubber, not the same material the wire insulation was made with. Therefore, it will look just fine from the outside.

For the throttle body, yes. A new or rebuilt throttle body (“slide”) will set you back a good $1000. There are rebuilders out there like BBA who do them, too. These are around $400-$500, but basically all they’re doing is rebuilding the harness and cleaning the electrical parts. Are these
