Can anyone help with component identification with the attached engine pic. 1985 MB 500 SL euro. I am having a problem with high-idle and need to troubleshoot it. The haynes manual is beyond useless..

as a followup: I've numbered the items that need ID in the attached Pic.
Which one is the ICV? Crossover valve? Enrichment valve? etc.
Come on guys, somebodys gotta know..

Number 4 is the idle control valve. Number 6 is the cruise control actuator. Number 1 is the control pressure regulator. The sensors I always verify in the etm.

That leaves 2,3 and 5.
I think 2 & 3 are temp sensors. Is 5 the enrichment solenoid?
And where is the crossover solenoid?

I have never heard or either an enrichment solenoid or crossover solenoid. At least not by those terms. There is a cold start valve/solenoid which plays no part in a running motor. The picture of item 5 is partially covered by the number and isn't clear enough for me to state.

This would be another view of item 5. Which could be the cold start valve you refer to.

Yes, that is the cold start valve.

Thanks! The original problem is that the idle will hunt or stay high (1500 or so) As you can see from the pic I have a meter hooked to the idle control valve. When the idle hunts I can see the voltage rise and fall from about zero to about 5 volts and it is indeed changing the idle as the voltage changes. It's almost like the computer can't make up its mind where it wants the idle to be. Problem gets worse when the engine is hot.

Is ABS lamp ON ????

Sometimes flickers, lost the fuse diagram so don't know where the fuse is.

In that case , the main suspect will be the OVP relay.
Give it a few taps as you monitor voltage...............
And check the fuse on top of it.

Also check the Idle Control Unit. Tap it with a screw driver handle while running if it shuts down or fluctuates when tapped(rapped smartly) then it's the ICU.

Ok, try it tomorrow AM, where is the OVP and ICU on this car.
Behind glove box?
