[MBZ] 603 dies when letting off pedal too fast

So a while back I posted about the SDL dying when you let off the pedal fast such as advancing in a line of traffic up to stop sign. I looked it up in the manual and there is a mechanical base idle that has to be set. You basically remove the plug from the elr, and it's supposed to idle at 570.
