Mercedes M119 motor throttle body rebuild. Wiring replaced.

RestoreYourMercedes.com. Rewired Mercedes throttle body, aka ETA for electronic throttle actuator, with military grade wires. Original harness deteriorated, insulation was falling off, wires shorted. ETA did not respond at all. Car this throttle body came off is 1994 SL500 with only 57000 miles! Car is in mint shape and I personally removed it off the car. True 57000 mile. In video ETA was tested it on my 94 S500. Both have M119 motor. ETA wiring failures are found in all ASR equipped Mercedes 1992-1996 models. During those years Mercedes used bio-degradable wiring. If your car is equipped with ASR and ETA wires short, car will go into Limp mode. Throttle will not respond until gas pedal is pressed 2/3 down. Idle will be high, around 1100 RPMs, transmission will engage violently and shift at high RPMs with kick. Not recommended to drive a car in Limp mode. You can damage transmission and engine mounts.
