Curious....

What is the deal with the "setting" knob on the top of the ECU (the one with positions of 0 or 1), and where should it be set?

Not touching it - just checking on what the deal with that knob is.. ('90 300E 3.0L )

I believe that's your MAS Control unit, and yes. All that knob does is hold it there. It's not an electronic knob.
