No, that one is for diagnostics, specifically setting the injection  
timing with the dynamic tool.


The one for the idle speed/tach is on the rear of the engine reading  
off the flywheel.

Yea but it may have been fixed. The rod bender problem usually shows up by 
120k. This one says it was rebuilt

Rebuilt at 250k. 
Probably has an improved head gasket over the 1992 original. 
Do you feel lucky?

Re: [MBZ] '87 30TD rev counter.

Ok, thanks.  Is the Hall effect sensor for the OM603 located on the 
front  of the engine with the magnet on crankshaft damper as on the 
OM617/616?




The connector that attaches the tail from the sensor to the harness.  
It's exposed and corrodes, resulting in poor transmission of the 
signal (which is not voltage, but a pulse generated by the Hall 
Effect pickup).  The result is first an erratic tachometer/idle 
speed control, followed by eventual loss of signal to the amplifier.

Interesting.  Thanks again.  We have a  87 124 300D that has a 
completely wacko idle.  Everything I've tried makes no difference.  I 
think the tach also goes wacky with the idle.  But when I unhook the 
idle speed electric connector on the pump it does the same wacky idle 
thing.I never thought of looking at the tach/instrument cluster 
as Dan suggests.


Is there some other connection between the hall effect 
sensor/tachometer to the throttle or idle speed control that would 
work with the EDC unhooked? (I think EDC is the book term for the 
electronic idle speed control plug on the top of the IP.)  It sounds 
like a flakey signal from the sensor would cause this, but I don't 
understand how it could work with the plug on top of the IP 
disconnected.


Next time I see the car (probably 6 months) I will look for this 
sender and connector at the rear.

Are you talking about the engine to body ground strap, or a different 
connector?




The connector behind the engine is usually the one that gets corroded.

Mine comes and goes, along with the idle speed control, and I 
suppose I should get in there and clean that connector sometime.
