Random Idle Surging w/cel

had a similar issue at stop lights. ended up being the hose that connects from the valve cover to the intake manifold.

random vacuum leaks. Check the elbows going into the throttle body.

Better yet, have a smoke test run and find all the leaks.

I've got an 87 325is that will run fine for days and then randomly start to idle surge at a stop light with the cel on. If I shut off the car and turn in back on, it runs fine. I have 153 dme so I can't check the codes but does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this?
