Hi whemme,
I wonder if your throttle position sensor (TPS) is faulty, just not faulty enough to store a code.
Since you have a ScanGauge-II, set one of the display settings to show the TPS number. I wish I could remember what the number is at idle, but that number escapes me. Maybe if you see that number at idle change erratically, it would tell you something is wrong with the TPS unit.
I installed a ScanGauge-II on our E350-V10 as shown. I set one of the 4 displays to TPS all the time to tell me how much throttle I am applying. It helps my driving for the sake of better fuel economy. Sometimes I don't realize how much throttle I am giving. When the number is real high, I'll back off a bit, drop a few mph and see the number drop dramatically.
