I also have an 85 380SL. I finally swapped out the Idle Control Unit with a known working piece and it solved my problem. Beware of Used Ebay units if not guaranteed. I was lucky enough to find a member here who had a working unit.

Below is a pic of it's location behind the glove box. Note that I had to pull the rubber vacuum tubes off the actuators (pink) in order to gain access.
