2001 CLK55 AMG THROTTLE QUESTION HELP PLEASE

[TONYLITTELL]

WHEN I PUT THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR ALL IS OK UNLESS I MASH THE PEDAL AND IT GOES THAT EXTRA 1/4 INCH PAST THE FIRST STOP ON THE PEDAL (MAKE SENSE) WHEN I DO THAT IT SEEMS TO PUT THE CAR INTO LIMP MODE AND THE ENGINE GETS REALLY SLUGGISH AND REVS VERY VERY SLOW. IF I STOP AND CUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT IS FINE. DOESNT SET ANY LIGHTS OR ANYTHING IN THE DASH.... DO I HAVE A PROBLEM? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND OTHER THAN THAT ITS GREAT.

could be a bad accelerator pedal position sensor it's that part under the hood next to the master cylnder it has a cable going to it and some wires.
