BRAVO!,
GENTLEMEN (I am not being sexist, I have merely not seen a ladies name) you
are truly amazing!
I currently have four 560 SEC's and I am in awe of your talents and
dedication to preserving and maintaining them. In my case I know that it is
best for the vehicles and my sanity to have a professional repair my cars.
Reading your comments and support makes me proud to be a member.
Fight on,
Doc

Here is what I've got. 10 ohms at the connector steady. Tapping of the air
slider valve does not influence this value so I presume the connector to
coil wires (2) are good. I removed the air slider valve and gave it a
shake. I hear the faint click of the valve. I cleaned out the carbon using
carb cleaner and compressed air, cleaned up the female connector and male
pins then returned the unit to the SEC.
The idle climbs of it's own volition after sitting at idle a minute or two.
When it hit 1,000 rpm, I unplugged the idle valve connector and the idle
raced to 1500 or so, returning the connector drops the idle back to 750 or
so and then the steady climb commences once again.
I checked all electrical connections and sensors on the engine. I checked
all of the vacuum lines and their connections on the engine. I checked the
mechanical linkage and performed the inspection and measurement tests from
the manual. All linkages are smooth and it's working as prescribed by MB.
Now my SEC is an 83 with a vacuum advance diaphragm on the side of the
distributor. This vacuum line when removed at idle drops my rpms to 650-700
or so where they rightfully should be. Returning this vacuum advance line
starts the steady climb once again of the idle to about 1100-1200 rpm tops.
I suspect this is my problem but, do not know the process to identify what
is causing the advance to operate at idle. Any thoughts or ideas are
welcome. Again this is an 83 380 motor.
Thanks to Mike Ramay for giving me the details on the air valve this AM by
phone.
Dick

Dick,
High probability that you have the broken wire inside the idle air valve.
I know how to fix that and can tell you how to disassemble that $250 part
and fix it for $5. Give me a call!!

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

Fig-
You are asking a lot of good questions. It takes a huge amount of abuse to
get a coil to go bad.
1)coil heat - A hot coil is not a good sign. Because a coil is voltage
dependant device and not a current device, coils need an in line current
limiting resistor. Some coils have them built in and some use an external
resistor. Disconnect the coil, with an ohm meter test your old coil and then
the new one. See if they are the anywhere near the same.
2)You only get the "speaker effect" when there is a lot of current flowing
through an inductive device.
A speaker is low voltage but high current by comparison.
3)Fluctuating timing: what is the mileage on the motor? If you have over
125K, you may get some spark wandering because of 'slop' or too much play in
the timing chain. This is caused by stretch in the chain and wear on the
plastic or phenolic tensioners.
4) More about wandering timeing - You may want to replace the timing
temperature sensor located in the intake manifold. The ignition system is
completely dependant on this sensor giving the ignition system correct
information. I have seen all kinds of eratic engine problems caused by this
sencsor going bad.
When this sensor begins to fail the engine may not start at all, timing may
wander, RPM may wander, RPM may surge, engine may 'misfire' eratically. Most
of these problems tend to occur once the engine approaches operating temp,
or as soon as the air idle valve goes out of high rpm start mode. (that
transition takes 11 to 15 seconds after the engine starts, according to the
manual.

Subject: RE: [W126 Coupe] SEC Starting Failure After a Massive Downpour
Hi everyone:
I was going to rebuild my ignition module, component-by-component, but,
after calling around, I found a Bosch ignition module for $145 at Autozone
that
comes with a life-time warranty!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
This completely beat out any deal I could find. Our local dealer was asking
$825 for the ignition module and switching unit. O'Reilly's was asking $292
with a one year warranty. The next more affordable option was the salvage
price (in SoCal) of $125 plus one year
warranty. Obviously, once the price is fair, who
really wants to buy "used", when it comes to an ignition module, eh?
So, in the end, the culprit was "NO SPARK!" However,
it was not just the OpAmp in my ignition module that was bad, as my coil
also went bad. Right now, I using an '85 380SE salvaged coil (same shape,
windings?) and am noticing some timing problems. This salvaged coil (I got
for free), is actually getting extremely hot and is probably "on its way
out", but just good enough to get me back on the road. Today, I'm buying a
new coil and will be hopefully done with the aftermath of the Friday the
13th massive downpour.
So, my remaining stupid question is can I get away with NOT doing a timing
job after replacing my ignition module + coil. (I remember doing it in the
past, but "Yikes, the horror!") My car right now (sans new coil) is giving
a "pitter, putter"
repetitive
noise on top of the normal smooth engine hum (which it had before these
replaced parts). It sounds like missed timing, but my coil wire could be
pushing up and down slightly, changing the connectivity at the coil
terminal.
In other words, the inductive force from the coil to the coil wire may be
creating a "stereo-speaker" like effect of pulling and pushing the wire. I
noticed on the used coil that the suction/grip of the coil wire is loose
than on my original tightly sealed coil + wire.
Do coils generally get really hot? I didn't think they did. I know if they
get extremely hot, the inductive force is supposed to disengage the coil
wire off the coil. This is why the coil wire isn't screwed onto the coil
and "pops off".
Thanks, everyone!
-figged out on my SEC that finally starts again! Woo Hoo! :))

Also be aware that you don't need to purchase a Mercedes idle control valve,
the Bosch component is used on other vehicles and is the exact same part and
is cheaper.

Greetings all--------
In addition to my 500SEC and 560SEC, I also have a W113 280SL which is
presently in the midst of restoration, and some customizing. In the course
of the
project, I will need to modify the gauges with some new markings. Basically,
I'll incorporate the left-hand W108/W109 (250SE through 300SEL 6.3)
multi-instrument dial (fuel/oil press./water temp) gauge and install FOUR
gauges (oil temp,
oil press, volts, and water temp) (using the "idiot" light area at the
bottom
of the dial for the fourth gauge). Some of the needles also will sweep the
opposite direction. Altogether, I'll need to repaint the lines and numbers
on
the dials, the legends (water temp, etc.), and replace the non-MB needles
with
MB needles.
My question: Is there an excellent source for custom painting of dials on
automotive gauges?
Thanks, all; any leads would be most appreciated.

pretty helpful, if they think you are spending big $$.

Jim:
You may want to look at the MBCoupes Parts and Services Suppliers list.
There are several Instrument Cluster shops that you can call to see what's
involved. Sounds like you are going to have some great fun with the
restoration.

Greetings all--------
In addition to my 500SEC and 560SEC, I also have a W113 280SL which is
presently in the midst of restoration, and some customizing. In the course
of the project, I will need to modify the gauges with some new markings.
Basically, I'll incorporate the left-hand W108/W109 (250SE through 300SEL
6.3) multi-instrument dial (fuel/oil press./water temp) gauge and install
FOUR gauges (oil temp, oil press, volts, and water temp) (using the "idiot"
light area at the bottom of the dial for the fourth gauge). Some of the
needles also will sweep the opposite direction. Altogether, I'll need to
repaint the lines and numbers on the dials, the legends (water temp, etc.),
and replace the non-MB needles with MB needles.
My question: Is there an excellent source for custom painting of dials on
automotive gauges?
Thanks, all; any leads would be most appreciated.

Not in need of a rebuild, not even close (car is perfect right now...at
lest mechanically, cosmetically it's a good 19.5 year old car), just
curious is all. And either way, when I do need a rebuild it will be a
euro 500, not my 380.

Hi!
I just wanted to ask people's opinions of which wheel
type does my SEC justice.
Enclosed, please find a picture comparing wheel type A
vs. wheel type B. I'm not going to place any more
information about each type of wheel because I want to
simply ask this question based on style, not brand
name, cost, etc...
What should it be, wheel type A or wheel type B?
I'll have 225X60R15s on both front and back for the
final set.
Thank ya!
-Figged out on wheelz.

Not unless he's moved from Wisconsin to LA. I talked to Doc earlier today -
not the same guy.
By the way, looks like we'll be having a mini-Gathering in LV next Saturday.
Doc, me, Mark D., probably Bob C. attending. Anyone else nearby??

When you say project, are you talking us 380 to euro 500 project? I'd be
interested if you are. I've actually finally got all my money together,
but I want to wait until 1 - my car isn't mechanically perfect (i.e so I
won't be taking out a 380 engine that runs so smooth that even with
totally busted engine mounts it doesn't shake) and 2 - I have a place to
store it since part of my project involves new interior and repaint and
it'd be a shame to park it outside after all that. So basically I'm just
waiting to finish up college. Part of my project will involve Jim's
supercharger set up, and that's the only part I don't yet have the money
for, but that'll just take one more summer.
