[W126 Coupe] Intermittant high idle question

[Matt Petersen]

For the cost I would just replace it.
 
I tried cleaning mine and it worked for about a day before coming back again
so I got a Bosch aftermarket unit and replaced it.

Subject: [W126 Coupe] Intermittant high idle question


Well here is a subject that has only been explored 15,000 times.  Actually,
I just need to know what to use in cleaning the air valve.  I get a racing
(1100-1300rpm) at times and if I wait a minute the racing drops to normal
idle.  When I pull the air valve connector while the car is racing and move
the plug in and out a few times the racing drops to normal idle.
 
So, I am fairly confident it's this metal cylinder with two black hoses
coming off of it at the front of the engine.
 
Do I just pull this outa there and juice it up with carb cleaner and replace
or is there some other method???
 
Thank you,
 
Dick
