New member: intro and some questions

Hello all. I recently picked up a 1989 300E with 88,000 miles. It's clean inside and out. I've been working my way across the instrument cluster making the warning lights go out and making the gages read happy values. so far, I've replaced the fuse in the ovp relay, replaced the fusible link for the fan, replaced the wiper pumps. cleaned all the fuses, cleaned all the light bulbs., and topped the fluids. Oh yeah. 4 michelins.

Now that the warning lights are all dark, I can move on to the next set of issues . This is where the questions arise. First, the are fast idle problems. When the engine is cold, I start the car and it wants to idle around 1000( as read on the dash, in park (occasionally.it idles as high as 1300 or so. in either condition the only fix is to turn the car off and restart it. This almost always fixes the problem. Turning the AC on full blast has very slight reduction in idle speed maybe 100 rpm drop for a second or less.

Ideas?

Any suggestions for service manuals for this car?
