Why is my 1994 E-Class revving every 15 second?
My 1994 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe 2.0 is revving every 15 second without any input from my right foot. What's the issue?

This is a very common fault with these cars. The first thing to do is check for a leak in the vacuum hose. You could then try cleaning the throttle body and butterfly. It's a long process and we'd recommend doing one thing at a time and checking it to see if solved your problem. It's not uncommon to find you need a new air temperature sensor or throttle actuator.
