any input is appreciated, one of these days i would like to use my CC, so its time to start figuring out how it ticks...

EDIT : and i am right that the "idle speed control knob" somehow works over this CC servo, pulling on the cable a bit to increase idle speed ? i cant see any other way it could work, unless my car has stuff missing from the linkages and cables.....
I assume you are talking about the Bowden cable (coffee can) unit.

Mercedes Benz issued a TSB (still in effect) between 1981 - 1983 to disconnect them from the throttle linkage.

They are notorious for locking at full throttle with no warning, often damaging the engine.
