Hi All,

Sorry to post yet another thread on idling issues. Hoping someone can help out a total noob. I'm really new to cars in general so please excuse my total lack of knowledge.

This benz was given to me as a gift from my uncle. It had been sitting in his garage for the past 4 years. Threw in a new battery, changed the oil, dropped some oil behind the spark plugs and put some fresh gas and it fired right up!

It does however idle fast at around 1800 rpms on start up and never drops.
After looking at numerous threads figured it could be most likely 3 problems

1. vacuum hoses
2. IACV
3. Idle control module

Unfortunately i have no idea where to find these things. I added a picture, could someone draw some arrows helping me find the 3? Is the idle control module in the interior of the car?

thanks for your help!!
