Car was throwing throttle pedal code replaced w 3 from junk yard and finally broke down and bought new one from mercedes. Still didn't fix. I've put new coils new o2 sensors before which helped drastically but still having problems with throttle positioning sensor in foot pedal, all wires appear clean and intact no other codes showing as of now but runs like crap. Any suggestions

According to my info, theres the sensor in the pedal, and two accelerator pressure sensors on top of the motor. You may want to have a shop at least read the ECM data so you can determine which is bad so you don't waste more any money
