Throttle control actuator

Computer problem
1996 Mercedes Benz C280 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150000 miles

The car runs great but dies frequently due to low idle. New part is $1,500 and car is old. Can I disable the throttle control actuator or is there another way to circumvent this control? Perhaps there is a simple way to block the linkage from returning all the way down (like the old idle screw days).
Thanks, Brian
