Raising idle 84 380SL

I need to raise the idle speed on my 1984 380SL as it is just idling far to low. There are no adjustments that I can see on the linkage so I would assume that adjustments are made at the fuel Distributor. I would appreciate any help that I can get in accomplishing raising the Idle.

Thanks, Tom

RE: Raising idle 84 380SL

The idle speed is electronically controlled. The idle acuator or the idle speed controller may be bad. Also check to see if you are getting a closed idle switch at closed throttle.
