Angry 1986 560 sl

failed smog way too rich.found spark plug crossthreaded fixed it.
idle air controller will actuate if jumped with 12v but system is only supllying 1.2 v at idle to it.
found injector o-rings leaking replaced all o-rings and sleeves.
when checking for vacuum leak i leaned out system and artificially enriched area around intake.got a huge jump in rpm at back of throttle body area.
took of fuel distributor air valve assy found no hoses leaking.
charged intake with smoke and had no leaks in itake area at all.
put it all back together and still get big hit with enrichment under intake.
also vehicle idles at 15 to 16oo rpm.

sounds like your idle control unit is bad.
