[W126 Coupe] going to replace the

[Pete Williams]

When I had mine apart replacing my heads, My injector seals were hard and
leaking. There are rubber seals between the upper and lower halves of the
intake manifold. Be careful and use break free or liquid wrench on the back
manifold bolts going into the heads. They go into the water jackets and can
break off. Take pictures of components as you get access to them. You don't
want to mix up the vacuum lines. Label the injector lines. Use anti seize
going back together.

 

Good luck,

Needed:
throttle body gasket (mates to intake)
fuel distributor o-ring

May be needed:
vac line and connectors to the throttle body
Fuel distributor control piston seal (test now before removing to see if it
leaks)
Rubber base to air flow meter housing
Hoses for the air-idle solenoid

I think that's pretty much it.

btw: you may find that the throttle body just needs a good cleaning
especially where the hinge points on the throttle plate pass though the
throttle body.  These get a carbon build-up preventing the plate (hence the
switch) from going to a closed position.
So, with TB removed try toothbrush, carb cleaner, gloves then test switch
for idle and WOT with a vohm meter on the bench and again once reinstalled
on intake.

trottle control switch, my engine light was on and code 10 came up.

 

so i was wondering since the switch is down deep in the middle and the whole
top will probable be dismantled, is there anything else i should look at or
replace.
