'87 model 126, 2 problems related?
Engine idle speed is high, about 2,000 rpm, even though it is at normal operating temperature. The throttle linkage does not seem to be bound. Also, the ABS warning light is on, believe it or not, the idle speed is high only when this light is on. The brakes are functioning normally.
These two symptoms were intermittent for the past month or so, but is now constant
Can anyone offer help?
Thanks TitoK for the advice, it was the overload protection relay at fault
JayP, thanks for taking the time out to respond, but as you can see the two problems ARE related through the relay
It is obvious that you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to this type of vehicle, probably best that you DO NOT answer any questions in which you are obviously ignorant of

Yes both your problems are related.Under the hood,behind the fuse box and near the brake booster there is a silver color relay with a red fuse on top called the overload protection relay.Check the fuse on the relay.If the fuse is blown,replace fuse.If the fuse is good replace the relay and your problem will be solved.

I can't see how they would be related. ABS warnings are usually a result of a faulty wheel speed sensor.
High idle can be a symptom of many different problems but nothing to do with the ABS system.

You can throw a lot of money away by guessing and replacing parts, and you could screw up something else by accident. Take it to the dealer.
