Re: 84 733i Help

I believe it to be a vacuum leak but cannot find one. The gasmilage
gauge/vacuum meter fluctuates full scale both ways. How can there be that
big of a vacuum leak?

Easy, my 635 did it once. A 1" hose blew off the intake manifold, think
the other end went to the idle control valve.
