C140 M119.971 ASR LIGHT

Hello,

I have issues with ETA or maybe with EGAS module?

Little background about the car, when I got it, it had much issues with idle and handling gas pedal.
I repaired wiring harness for throttle body, switched spark plugs, replaced gaskets and rubber parts near throttle body also i replaced brake light switch.
I had an issue with throttle body shown in the following video:

I emailed Victor from Restoreyourmercedes.com and he said to swap wires on throttle bodys motor and check the small cover over potentiometer.
I did both and now I still receive ASR light, but the response to gas pedal is way better also throttle body doesnt create so loud noise / harmful moves when switching ignition on.
The situation now is recorded to following videos:

Is the issue still at throttle body, EGAS module or somewhere else?

If I use blinker to read codes from 38-pin connector I get this from Socket 7

3 Right EA/CC/ISC actuator (left cylinder bank) (M16/1)

EXTRA QUESTION:
Is it possible to convert throttle body to work 100% manually, with no motors inside? Without getting limp home mode

Yesterday I used blinker again to read codes and I received following errors:

Socket 4 -
4 Voltage at mass air sensor with hot wire circuit. Open or short circuit.
13 Intake air temperature sensor, open or short circuit.
24 Left adjustable camshaft timing solenoid (Y49/1), open or short circuit
27 Injectors, open or short circuit.

Socket 6 -
30 ASR only CAN date bus to EA/CC/ISC control module, interrupted
40 Model 140 SPS P-valve

Socket 7 -
3 Right EA/CC/ISC actuator (left cylinder bank) (M16/1)

Socket 17 -
6 Camshaft position sensor faulty

Car wasn't running, only ignition on.

Also I tried to remove EGAS-module and it didnt have any effect.
 
Clear all those codes, then drive the car, and see which codes return.

No, you cannot convert to "manual" throttle body and still have ASR work.
 
Due to our snow situation I cant go out and drive this car yet. I can't even keep engine running for too long because air ventilation is so poor in my "garage".

So I'll try that in few weeks when I get back to the car hopefully with my freshly bought "perfectly working" E-Gas module from Ebay.

I'm pretty sure now that E-Gas is broken, because previous owner drove ~30km with short circuited ETA wires and this has exactly the same symptoms as shown in following video:

 

Attachments

Now I tested new Egas-module, ETA seems to work perfectly fine now, no ASR light.
Cruise works also, but I am having issues with high rpm.

Idle rpm is ~1500, checked many vacuum hoses for leaks, couldn't find any leaks. Engine is also running very rich, transmission in P it allows to rev up, also driving with force gears (B-2-3) it allows to rev somehow. But when driving with D kickdown works only 2->1 and barely revs over ~2k rpm while driving normally.

Having only following DTCs after test drive

Socket 6 -
7 - left front axle VSS valves, illogical
40 Model 140 SPS P-valve

Socket 17 -
6 Camshaft position sensor faulty.

Tested two camsaft sensors, still getting same error?

Fixed P-valve, it didnt have cables attached before, now it has and I tested and confirmed the valve to be fully functioning.

Inside MAF another hotwire(?) is cut, I tested unplugging maf, no effect.
Also back in the days when this was in previous owner, they have cut lambda wires and connected them with screw terminal, so I am not quite sure are they connected like they should be. (Can o2 sensor be tested somehow?)


And weird part here is that when I remove vacuum line going to EZL, idle goes to ~600rpm and seems to work slightly better, is this normal?
