Take off the air cleaner and block the airflow meter inlet with something flat while the engine is idling. If the engine does NOT stall, you have an air leak, probably in one of the idle air hoses or a vacuum line.

Make sure all your throttle linkage is lubricated. Be sure it moves properly. Have someone push the accelerator pedal while you look at the linkage (take the air filter off) Watch for old and brittle rubber connecting tubes.
If brown telltale rust around the throttle linkage connectors, remove one at a time, clean and lube with something such as ATF. It provides lube but unlike a paste doesn't attract too much dirt. You can pop the bell cap ends off by using a 10mm wrench end. Keep us posted. Haasman

Remove the electrical connector from the idle control valve to see if idle drops. If so, you may be running too rich. If not, the ICV may be sticking open, and should be cleaned. It is also still possible you have a small air leak - check all air hoses for cracks or loose fitting at connectors, and for vacuum lines disconnected.

I went out to my car and disconnected the idle control valve and it drops to a 850rpm spot on.But when i put it back on the engine revs to 1500rpm again so may be running to rich. It was getting too dark to check all the air hoses.will check tomorrow..I have the car booked in at a mercedes main dealer on 29th i hope they fix it quick as they charge £80 per hour labour..(robbing gits) Cheers Karl |

If the car is running rich, the ECU may increase the idle to compensate if the EHA is out of range. However, idle is still too high with the idle valve disconnected. This makes me suspect there is still an air leak.

I would pull the electrical connectors off the EHA, and then the O2 sensor, and see what happens. If neither drops the idle, then check for air leaks on your own. see if the air hoses are soft and pliable when you pinch the gently. If they seem hard and don't give, then you probably have air leaks at all the interconnects, where they will fit loosely. Replace any such hoses.

The Electro-Hydraulic Actuator is screwed to the firewall side of the fuel distributor, and the O2 sensor is screwed into the exhaust manifold (but not to be confused with the EGR valve, which has no electrical connector). This would be on my 2.3 - your 1.8 may be different.
