OK, slowing working out the little bugs with the euro 5.0 in the US 380. I figured out this thing has a throttle position sensor which is located under the air meter deal, fuel distributor etc right on the side of the throttle body. The euro engine has a wire with a flat 2 lead connector, the US car and another US car I have here has a round 3 lead connector for the sensor. I have a high idle of 900-1K rpm and am assuming this is probably the cause. I also seem to have a very slight surge when maintaining the same speed going down the road which also leads to this. Anyways, Im assuming Im going to have to swap the sensors. Any way of doing this short of removing the whole injection system? Kaleb, High idle speed and surging at light loads make me think of a vacuum leak. I would look for a loose hose somewhere. Putting a vacuum gauge on it might help and should show about 20 inches Hg at light steady cruise speed. Regards, Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 262 K miles 98 ML 320, 140 K miles
