Thanks.

I spent tonight measuring and testing the different ISV circuits, and 
meanwhile learned a lot from the control unit's operation. The problem, 
by the way, was a dislocated spring in the ISV itself, causing it to 
open wide at the threshold voltage (which apparently was around 1,6 
volts), when it should have not.

Physically it does. However it's three units wide, and while actually 
connecting to relay plates 8 and 9 in my car, it takes up the space for 
the non-existing plate 7 on the relay map, thus marked "7-9".

An '87 Coupe quattro with a naturally aspirated KV engine, ie. CIS, 
vacuum controlled advance, no cat and no lambda. Thus, no ECU.
