    Funky idle?

    I have a 87 325es. The car was sitting for two years and I've gotten around to doing the oil pump, timing belt and water pump but the car idles and drives a little weird.
    It sounds like it's got a vacuum leak when it's sitting at idle, but doesn't stall out,. When driving it the issue only happens at low rpms in every gear. Once you're past the low rpms it runs great. Basically drives like it's bogging or getting too much or not enough fuel.
    I changed.the intake boot, and I'm thinking about changing the fuel filter abs cleaning the injectors.

    Any other ideas?

    The first thing you'll do is smoke test to reveal vacuum leaks

              Hook a fog machine up to it and find the vacuum leaks.
