Hi, can someone explain to me the location of the idle control valve on an 1989 240GL. I can't seem to find any information on where it is located and I need to replace it. Thanks.

It's under the intake manifold. Look for a rubber mounted cylinder, just under 2" in diameter, about 4" long with 2 hoses connected to one end, and a wiring harness connection at the other.
Last time I did that the motor commutator and brushes got contaminated.

I've used carb cleaner, and also electrical parts cleaner without a problem.
I think that happens whether it is being cleaned or not. Mine did the same, and I uncrimped the body to clean it out. The large O-ring inside there has to be replaced if you uncrimp it, and it is a chore to tightly recrimp the body.
