[W126 Coupe] Houston Gathering

[Willardtredway at aol.com]

Richard and others who are interested:
 
The last I talked to Doug, he was trying to target a date in August...not  
July. However, since he is organizing this I expect he will be posting an update 
 when he returns from vacation. If I get anything new in the interim, I will 
post  the info as soon as I get it.

I sent a message last week but for some reason it never  appeared so, here it
is again.

Doug Gavin is organizing the Houston  event and I've volunteered to assist
while Doug is on vacation. Last  Saturday I toured Memorial Park (centrally
located near I-10 and Loop 610  West) and faxed Doug a map indicating which
areas might best suit our needs  (parking, picnic facilities, shade, etc). I
understand that he will contact  the parks department to reserve an area for
us on some weekend in August. I  expect that he will be asking for dates from
everyone as soon as he returns  from vacation.

That's as much as I know right now,
Willard  Tredway

Dear  Larry, Neil, Tim and Anyone Else:
I  have checked for vacuum leaks and found none so far using my mytvac and   
vac. gauge. The vac. gauge at idle reads 21 inches+ - 1/4 to 1/2  bar(slow)  
fluctuation.Is this acceptable or point to a slight leak  and would this give
me  a 
300 rpm idle problem( 850 at idle)? I  removed and cleaned the fuel  
distributor,plunger and air valve  mechanism. There was some varnish but the
plunger 
was working fine. I  also replaced the injector seals as the  fuel lines were
off 
and  these I thought were a possible area for vac.  leaks. I also removed  the

cold start valve reattached the fuel  line and with ign. on  tested for a 
possible fuel leak-checked good. I  sprayed water over  the engine at idle to
try 
and detect a leak and found no  change  in vac. reading. I am beginning to
think 
my problem may lie  elsewhere  such as  the idle control unit(ICU). Everyone 
has  advised that there  is no sure way to test without special equip. so  I
guess 
my next step is to  bite the bullet and buy one unless  someone can point to 
something else I can  try.
By the way , I  really to appreciate all the advice I have  received.
Thanks!!

What year is your SEC? 

What  is the condition of your Overvoltage Protection Relay?  Test this  
first.  Test your engine temp sensor that influences cold  start.  And 
depending on year, you may have warm up regulator issues  and then again 
perhaps not.

As for the Idle Control Module, the PC  board can be removed from it's 
case and plugged back into the  harness.  Then carefully with engine at 
idle grab a hold of the PC  board and gently press components to cause 
the board to flex  slightly.  The only caution is to not allow the board 
to contact the  chassis in any way when doing this test.  If your idle 
changes up or  down as a direct result of flexing the board, the board 
needs repair or  replacement.

The fuel distributor plunger only needs to be removed if  the seal is 
bad.  Otherwise it is best to leave the fuel distributor  alone.  Is your 
idle steady at 850 or hunting between 650-850?   Did you test the 
throttle position sensor?

Good  luck.

Dick

Those are all coming from the same network in Canton,  Ohio:

Dick,
I replaced the over voltage protection  relay previously because it  started 
giving me a 1100 rpm idle  problem and ABS light on . I would tap the old
one 
and idle would drop  but only to 850 rpm.I still have idle at 850.The idle is

absolutely  steady at 850 no wavering. It is almost like the timing is set
too   
far after TDC but this seems incorrect as timing is done electronically.  I
do  
have a concern about the cold start sensor because at start  up the engine 
seems  to be at 850 whether cold(start up) or hot-no  drop off of rpm during
warm 
up but would this still give me a high idle  after coming up to temp? Is  
there a way to test this sensor? Also,I  only checked the fuel distributor
valve 
to make sure it wasn't  sticking. I did not remove it as I read the
precaution 
note in the  spec. I am willing to do certain things and some things I   don't

touch. The Idle control unit is under the passenger floor panel  and I
thought 
this was a sealed unit.
Regards,
John  K.

Alec,

I  can't believe a 95 Lexus LS400 doesn't have ABS! Are you sure?
I mean, even  a 1995 Honda Ballade (Civic for our American friends)
had ABS as standard  on the top of the range (180E) model, my mother
used to drive one  :-)

Regarding the higher spec, I'm also not quite so sure how this  applies
to the 560SEC... The americans got a bit short-ended (mechanically)  by
getting, as standard, a lower-powered car which also did not have  the  
capability
to start in first gear... But I guess,  features-wise, your statement  
is correct.

I was also under  the impression that the memory seats were a feature  
of 1986  and
later models, but if Jim says his 1985 (which I presume is the  model  
with the
corrugated side panels, not the smooth ones on  later models) has it,  
then I stand
corrected  :-)

Dick,
1989, 80k miles. I have had the car about 3  months and the idle problem(850

rpm)was there when I bought it. At that  time, I wasn't aware that 850 wasn't

the  correct setting. I have  driven it 75 miles since  purchase.
Regards,
John

Yes, my '85 US spec 500SEC has memory for the seats as  well, and its build 
date as 12/1984, so a fairly early '85  model.

Hi John:

Test the coolant temp  sensor which is the 4-pole on an 89.  The 
following presumes you have  the manual, if not let me know.  The chart 
for B11/2 resistance  readings is found in 073-121, page 31.  Test the 
sender for both  diagonal terminals.  Then complete the harness test (n) 
that  follows.  Are the readings in  range?

I thought it was an email list, and  variety is the spice of life. There 
is only so much discussion of  first-gear-start-kits and 
fast-idle-problems before it gets boring.  Diversity makes it more life-like.
