[W126 Coupe] Fast Idle Issue 1983 380SEC

[dustin famer]

I had the same issue with my 82 380SEC it was the overload protection relay in the fuse box, around $60-70. The High Idle hell article on the MBcoupes site helped alot. It's either the relay, the curcuitboard in the modual or the valve itself. The relay is the easiest one to test. If you yank it out while the car is running (Not sure if that can hurt the car)  the RPM will jump to 1500 then settle down when you plug it back in until it starts jerking around again. I nearly ran into the back of my garage one time when I was pulling in to park and the rpm's surged all the sudden.
