[W126 Coupe] fast idle, m117.968

[flakeymail-benz at yahoo.com]

many thanks for the offer, i was able to correct high
idle by cleaning out  idle control valve and
wiggling/cleaning contacts on idle control unit as
described on the mbcoupes website.  

currently i'm sorting out the horn, 1 out of 4 horns
are working.  i have a shop manual arriving in the
mail in the next few days which should help me get
some more minor troubleshooting done.

cheers,
alex
