Does its distributors vacuum advance can have TWO vacuum hoses? One on
the advance side and the other on the retard side? If so, Im guessing that
the A/C control tweaks them to manage idle speed, when it deems it
necessary. If thats true on your 380, as it was on my 280s (77 SE and 78
SLC), that might be a place to troubleshoot.

Subject: [MBZ] Idle change
Hola amigos
My 1982 380SEL, 487,000 miles, has a idle speed change. Idles at about 650
then down to about 500 and then back to 650 when hot or cold. Always starts
easy and runs down the road just great, mileage still 17 town, 22 highway.
New plugs and Bosch wires, and I use a Techron fuel system cleaner on a
regular basis. I looked this morning for vacuum leaks, well 1st of all there
are not that many places for leaks to develop, didn´t find any, hose
connections soft & ply able. The electronic idle control box has been
changed a couple of time over the life of the car. Suggestions por favor &
are there any vacuum lines to the tranny?
Adios Don
