W126 idle problems

Yes, I've search, and tried everything. No sucess.

(1983 380SEL) will start as normal, but the either stall out or the revving will go up and down (50-2000 rpm) until the car warms up.


Sofar I've:
-Checked and re-soldered the ICU (and cleaned contacts)
-Cleaned the air-slide valve (cleaned with brake cleaner and lubed with atf)
-Replaced thermostat and coolant (had green coolant)
-Changed spark plugs
-Cleaned contacts on the sensors on the thermostat housing


Every contact that was cleaned also got a dose of di-electric greese. cleaner used was caig deoxit. Only thing left if the fuel system (injectors and injector seals) an italian tuneup, maybe?
