Curly, The plug on the top of the IP is the rack position sensor, nothing to do with idle. It has a locking ring that needs to be turned to allow removal. There is a small two pin connector at the back of the IP, between IP and cruise control actuator, which is for idle. Pinch to release. --

No, that one is for diagnostics, specifically setting the injection timing with the dynamic tool. The one for the idle speed/tach is on the rear of the engine reading off the flywheel. Peter Interesting. Thanks again. We have a 87 124 300D that has a completely wacko idle. Everything
