Question Engine Idling changed while driving - '86 420 SEL

The idling of my car increased while driving but changes to normal after few minutes of driving. Any idea......do you think I just need a tune up?

Just taking a guess here, but did the ABS light come on at the same time (your other post) as the idle prob?? I'd be taking a look a the OVP, check the 10amp fuse on top. Might need to replace the OVP also.

You should be able to find the OVP on the firewall 6-8 inches from the fuse box, Silver module with a red top and clear plastic flip top.

OVP is over voltage protection.
