+  * 1986 190E 2.3-16 - This ECU does not need to be switched into a special mode. The on/off ratio will be available after the engine has been running for 30 seconds.

 ===== Performing Adjustments =====
+The adjustment procedure can be generalized as follows:
+  - Engine is at operating temperature, 80C
+  - Record average duty cycle at engine idle
+  - Record average duty cycle at engine speed of 2500 RPM
+  - Adjust EHA valve and adjustment screw on fuel distributor until duty cycle for engine speeds at idle and 2500 RPM are near 50% and within 10% of each other
+==== Adjusting EHA Valve ====
+<grid>
+<col sm="6">
+  - Remove EHA valve from fuel distributor
+    - Unplug wire connector
+    - Remove 2 screws holding EHA valve to fuel distributor while covering the EHA valve with a rag to catch fuel that will squirt at your face
+    - Pull EHA valve off fuel distributor, noting the 2 green rubber sealing rings.
+  - Remove the screw cover with a flathead screw driver
+  - Use a 2mm allen key to turn the adjustment screw inside the EHA valve with small adjustments (1/4 turn at a time)
+    - Turn clockwise to **enrichen the fuel mixture**. This **decreases the duty cycle** or **increases the voltage**, depending on whatever method you are using.
+    - Turn counter-clockwise to **lean the fuel mixture**. This **increases the duty cycle** or **decreases the voltage**, depending on whatever method you are using.
+  - Reinstall EHA valve

+==== Adjusting Fuel Distributor Screw ====
+If there is a steel plug  present, it needs to be drilled out first. Engine must be idling for this adjustment.
+<grid>
+<col sm="6">
+  - Insert 3mm allen key or screwdriver into the adjustment tower.
+  - Push down against spring until the screw fully contacts the mixture setting screw. Pushing further past this point will cause engine to stall.
+  - Turn clockwise to enrichen the fuel mixture. This **decreases the duty cycle** or **increases the voltage**, depending on whatever method you are using.
+  - Turn counter-clockwise to lean the fuel mixture. This **increases the duty cycle** or **decreases the voltage**, depending on whatever method you are using.
+  - Use small increments for adjustments such as 1/4 of a turn while checking the new duty cycle or voltage to avoid making large changes that could cause the engine to stall or not start.
