Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help with an idle surging issue with my 380sl before my wife divorces me(it's her car).
New parts include the idle control valve, most vacuum fittings, new fuel pump and filter, newer switching unit(2-3years old).
In the past it has stalled on decel but cleaning the idle control valve occasionally fixed it. Now it doesn't stall, but surges constantly with the occasional few times when it quits and runs beautifully. Then back at the surging. I've sprayed starting fluid and can't find a vac leak. I've even ran water over the vacuum parts to no avail. When disconnecting the Idle control valve the engine idles high with no surging.
Any further ideas anyone??
Jack
