So, is there a way I can put some power to it while out of the car, to
observe it working? Also, how would I test the electrical connector, to
ensure there isn't something wrong with the wire down stream that's
preventing power from even getting to the valve.
Keep in mind, you have to talk slow.

It's got two pins, right? Feed 12V to them and see if the
slide inside moves.

From memory you should be able to hear an audible click as the
restrictor spins around rather quick, it works on a variable power
supply principle. Thus if you can hook up your multimeter onto the pins
while the car is idling you should be able to read some voltage. It is
possible to make up a
Thanks Hendrik,
Yeah, I can picture what you mean. The probes on the meter are pretty
narrow, so I think I can do as you suggest, and get them between the
connector and tomato can. If not, I don't think it would be too hard to rig
up something that would fit.
I'll keep you updated in a few

It's having the set drop off that I worry about. ;-)

Not sure the Mercedes name for the part, but the AUX Air Valve. The air

I take it you are talking about the electrically operated idle air valve
(MB call it the idle speed adjuster) that sits just forward of the fuel
distributor?
Beside the voltage from the electrical connection, which I understand just
heats a bi metal strip faster, won't the bi metal strip operate the same way
when subjected to heat and cold, only slower?
Is there a way to test the electrical connection too to ensure proper power
is getting to the
Sorry, my first reply didn't include to say that, yes, the picture if of the
valve I'm talking about. And yikes, how the price of these things has gone
though the roof in the past couple of years! Same with similar porsche
bits. What I bought a few years back for $150, is now $600 or more!!
You may heat and cool it all you like but being fully electrical in
operation you will be wasting your time, it is not like the earlier ones
found in K jet cars.
Difference being that the K jet ones where cold idle valves which
basically has a cold engine setting and warm engine setting,
