Fast idle, stumble on acceleration
I recently bought a 1987 560 SL with no idea of its service history. It insists on idling at 900-1,000 RPM, and stumbles on acceleration. Also, when I pump the brake pedal, the idle surges upward slightly. I've searched the archives, but don't feel like just randomly replacing parts. It sounds like a combination of things (idle control unit, plugs wires, etc.) Any thoughts?

High idle
Max;
The idle increase when pumping the brake is typical,no repair needed. For the other problems check thr o.v.p.,it's located in the right side footwell behind the side panel. M.F. |
Thanks for the quick reply. I've heard the OVP bandied about on this site, but am not quite sure of its function. How does its operation affect idle and/or stumbling?

The OVP fuse and relay can cause all sorts of idling problems. Check the fuse on it first. Please note that if your car was jump started with another car - it could cause the fuse on the relay to blow from voltage surge. Since you just got the car - CHECK THE OVP FUSE AND RELAY - first. It could be your problem. If the car sat for a while before you got it and they jump started it - could be it. Please advise if it cures your problem
