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.

You can clean it out its easy and simple .Just take it off fill it with
fuel shake hard and let it out then repeat several times .You will find
black gunk coming out of it .When its clean replace as found .careful not to
know off any contacts on your temperature sender I sure did .They are right
up under there and easy to disturb.

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.
