RE: 1988 w201 diesel (190d) idle control and tach failure

Howdy all,

Okay my wife's car is acting up. On start up, the car's cold start/idle control system does not work, and at the same time the tachometer does not work. Then after some time, from a few seconds to a few minutes, both systems start to work at the same moment and work perfectly.

Oh, and the dash clock has stopped working as well. But it failed a few weeks ago and has never returned to life.

Thanks in advance!
John
