Kaleb,
Not sure how the throttle sensor on the Euro is set up but on the
US version ( 3 connector) the Left Connector controls Low Idle, Right
Connector controls High Idle Center is the Ground. By Default if the Sensor
goes bad or becomes disconnected it goes to High Idle position.
If I can get over this CRUD that my wife so kindly shared with me I'll
go have a talk with my Indy and see what he can come up with.

I have checked all over for loose vac lines and nothing has turned up.
The throttle sensor not being hooked up has to be causing some problem I
would think.

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.
