560SEL hard start /rough idle

I am diagnosing this problem and have been through the search facility etc to determine next steps. I am getting closer but at a dead end for now. This is an 86 126/117 US version. I have been though the normal parts swapping to no change to the problem including- OVP relay,fuel pump relay,cold start injector, etc.

I am now looking at the EZL interraction with the coolant sensor which on start up as i understand defines timing based on the map in the EZL and sensor resistance. The sensor is working fine based on the resistance/temp table in the SM. When I unplug the sensor (2 pole version) both sides -- the car starts much better but then idles very rough. I also observe that disconnecting while running shuts off the air pump.

A real concern -pin 21 on my connector for the CIS control unit is unused (ie there is no cable using that pin) -- which according to the manual shoudl be the coolant temp sensor ???

Any thoughts on next steps would be appreciated.

Plugs, wires, rotor?

PO had platinum plugs in our 560, idled rough, changed to copper and the idle smoothed out a lot. Then changed wires, improved more. Fresh distributor cap and rotor really finished the job. Hope this helps.
