The throttle (gas pedal) on my son's 1985 300D is surprisingly stiff and hard to push with my foot compared to my every day 1983 300TD. As a result, it seems r elatively "logy" and slow off the mark. Would lubing the throttle linkage take care of this or could there be some deeper significance Check for an abnormal spring installed down on the linkage just where it connects to the injection pump. I actually removed the stock one, which is quite soft, and run without that spring. Regards, Also check for dirt or carpet build up under the throttle pedal where it pivots on the floor.
