Thanks
I suspect I might have caused a connection to loosen and eventually fall apart while I was in the center console to fix the stop light error module.
My car has '89 gearbox and therefore also '89 shifter from an XJ12, but I expect the differences to be small.
Next task will be to find out where I have caused a vacuum leak. Car started hunting after maybe 2 minutes idle from cold, but stopped doing it shortly after before I found a leak.
I suspect it's under the car at the gearbox, I have been working a lot around the starter to measure connectivity between starter and relay before I was told that I was working on the wrong relay...

I will check under the A bank TB.
I was wondering if the missing signal from gearbox inhibitor switch could cause the idle to be higher ? I can see in the diagram, that the inhibitor switch connects to other things than the starter relay

Thanks. The modulator vacuum tube was mounted, but rotates easyly. A quite loose fit. Hunting stopped when I moved it around, but it also stopped first time after a short while, so that's no guarantee I have found the cause.
