Well, Im waht they call "work in progress" I guess! Found out today the rough idle (inconsistant RPM'S) was indeed a seperate issue. I had removed the oil cap and since this car just turned 76000 and is a weekend driver at best I have always taken it to a local Beemer shop for oil changes. It seems as the hissing sound (vacume leak) from the oil cap was causing the rough idle because when I removed the oil cap I took the retaining ring with it and did not notice that it must snap onto the valve cover before you try to tighten the cap! Yes im a rookie! Now that thats behind me Im waiting on my parts to replace the EWP.
