Paul, I am not a mechanic, and had somewhat similar problem with my 300E '89. It would start accelerating all by itself, like a ghost was pushing down the gas pedal! I also spent over $2k over it, changing a lot of parts, and no results.
So I took it to another mechanic and he disconnected the system that revs up the engine when you start the car. So now all I have to do is when I start the car, to keep my foot on the gas pedal until the car warms up, and all is fine after.
I suspect the same system is causing you the problem. Suggest trying to disconnect it, and see what happens. Check with your mechanic, or better, with another mechanic which is not already invested in a solution.

Next time don't listen to the car seller, they always say "Great
Car"'s Bullshit. You need to learn to stay away from trouble. I
won't buy anything older then 15 years even for Low mileage. >> Stay informed about: LOST! Help PLZZZZ - 86 300E |

Sounds like you replaced fuel pump relay, overload relay and I am not sure
the third relay...
You also replaced distributor cap, rotor, and spark plugs. Fuel filter was
also replaced...
I would say your problem is the crank position sensor. >> Stay informed about: LOST! Help PLZZZZ - 86 300E |
