Idle speed solenoid control

(1/3) > >>

stickandrudderman:
The learned amongst you will know that the idle speed solenoid is controlled by the throttle switch and the system is used across the model range of the period using identical parts. Or is it?
I am old enough and wise enough to know that you've never seen it all, even after 40 years of doing this job.....
I have a 250Sec coupe in here with automatic transmission and the familiar idle speed solenoid but it has no throttle switch! I was puzzling over how this could be and searched the throttle mechanism for some other switch and I found it under the throttle pedal!
Neither I, nor any of my associates (with a combined experience of 130 years!) have ever seen this set up before and it doesn't feature on any parts diagram I have found.
I wonder if any of you have seen this arrangement before?

Pawel66:
You mean: the three way solenoid on transmission or the idle speed solenoid?

I have never seen this kind of switch, but in case of me - it does not really matter, actually...

stickandrudderman:
Well, if you're going to get picky, then both! :)

Pawel66:
I was not! Might have been a different system I have no clue about!  ;)  :) :)

Benz Dr.:
Probably not a factory set up. I've never seen anything like that; like ever.
