My 1989 750iL, will not idle smoothly when it warms up. Once warm the idle rpm varies 600 to 1100 rpm, and occasionally turns off.
1989 750iL idle problem

I believe these are known for leaking inlet manifold gaskets. That would let unmetered air into the system and mess with the idle.
John and Magicrat, thanks for the respond, I'm trying to figure out why my
750 suffers from an erratic idle problem. I checked for leaks in the intake air tubing and found none. I then noticed that the idle runs at 500 to 600 RPM and stable for the first 20 minutes, after that the idle is erratic from 600 to 1100 and occasionly truns off. I'm thinking that the 500 to 600 RPM at idle may be too low. What do you guys think?thank papajo
what is the best way to check for vacuum leaks in the intake manifold system??
