Low idle.
Low idle.
So...I have a 606.962 fitted with a 124 manual pump. The cold idle is low (about 500-550 rpm). Does the ELR idle-up device at the top rear of these pumps take a straight 12volt supply to increase cold idle -so it could be worked from a simple on/off switch- or is it some silly ECU generated voltage like maybe 2v?
I don't fancy introducing 12volt in there and blowing it's head off before I'm sure of what I'm at.

Maybe add a potentiometer?

It will normally rice to 1000 RPM if you put 12 V on it.
I use my gearbox controller to send a PWM signal to it, to have a steady 800 Rpm cold and 700 Rpm when worm.
By cold i normally i send around 30% PWM to it. that means 12V 30% of the time.

Depends on the amount of current it draws as to how easy it is to drop the voltage especially with resistors or a pot. They tend to get pretty big and hot in a hurry. PWM is by far the better way to go and you could make it variable to temp so its a constant RPM. All that said my new car goes up to 1000rpm on a cold start for a few mins and its no big deal really.
I will stick my power supply on my pump tomorrow night and see what kind of power it draws for you.

Just a thought but does your car originally have a manual choke on it? You could use that to pull the throttle slightly and still have that authentic cold start choke experience if it has :-)

You could get a radiator thermo time switch like the old bmw's used to activate the cold start injector to switch 12v to the ELR
if i´m not wrong, there should be a place on the engine head for a thermal switch on that engine, or maybe it is there already look aside the temperature probe for engine temp, most bring some thermal swich that cuts vacum or for the aneroid capsule on old mechanichal pumps or for the ECU switch , or the ECU switch is in that place.
ECU usualy does not operate with figures rising and droping, uses voltage to know what hapens. so there must be a switch for it (eng cold or eng warm) (eng cold elr gets 12v, eng warm elr gets o volts) or it maybe by steps, (eng cold+gearbox cold ELR gets 12v, eng warm +gearbox cold ELR gets 7volts, eng warm +gearbox warm ELR gets 0 volt) usually is how this things work. otherwise they would have to use a map for it and a processor, and that cost Money and is not reliable.
lets us know if i´m right

Simply 12V will fry the magnet! Don't do this... As others have said, it's a PWM signal. The ECU itself is tiny and has only 8 wires If you get OM603 engine loom it's pretty straight forward. 1 temp. sensor is requiredand a steady voltage supply (OVP) for the ELR. Wiring diagramms are in the FSM.
Or you just turn idle higher manually... So far I have not managed to stall the engine without ELR (full steering lock). I have not tried with aircon, though. But who needs that heavy sh!t anyway...
Now I've retro-fitted the ELR in the CE (OM603a) with original engine loom - it needed two wires from the OVP relais and that's it. Works.

Could use a W123 idle knob to make it look period correct OM606 in a R107 - awesome!!
Agree with oyu on the wiring. If I had not realised I needed only two wires connecting - I would have left it out and just turned idle a bit higher

No idea what is screwed into the 603 though which is what the pump will be from.
Personally I would go for one of the cheap small Arduino boards hook an analogue pin up to the thermistor sensor and a PWM pin up to a transistor power circuit. Bit of straightforward code and you have a PWM controler based on temperature. You obviously need to work out values so it works properly. You could also use the existing flywheel sensor and count rpm so you can control idle fully. That's a bit more complicated though.

Yes, the diesels have it. But IIRC it acts only on the linkage. http://www.abload.de/img/pict0128t7zm.jpg
Wow - proper tidy conversion!! Would love to read more about it
I have plotted the load values for you bellow. From the results and the rapid climb on the higher voltages I would agree that full voltage isn't a good idea for long. There is also little point in going bellow 7v as I can't feel any movement bellow that point.
14v, 3.7A. Actual charging volts or there abouts.
13v, 3.3A
12v, 3.0A
11v, 2.8A
10v, 2.6A
9v, 2.4A
8v, 2.2A
7v, 1.8A
6v, 1.4A
Just for info my pump has the anti jerk as well and that's about 2A higher all the way through the range.
Sorry for misinformation, when I drive pumps i bench I do 12 v on the ELR to check high idle. I was wrong. / GÖran

There is a spare place at the rear end of the head for another sender. As you point out there is one at the front and I have already got an extra temp gauge running from that. The original M110 sender screwed straight into the hole where the two pin thermistor came out which allows the use of the original temp gauge in the cluster without any mods. Any mention of Arduino boards et al have me spinning. Way above my head . The pump's off a 606.910 W124 BTW, not a 603. I just got the revcounter working yesterday from a CPS reading the flywheel segments and acting through an ignition control box amplifier from a W201 2.6.

Didn't know a W123D had a knob for idle advance. Does that simply work on the throttle linkage or does it do something inside the pump..maybe where the later ELR is?
OM606 in an R107? Yeh . 20months work. Manual Getrag dog-leg box, 2.47 diff from a 380SEL, one piece driveshaft,,,and a hundred other things. Might do a thread on it one day.
