[QUOTE="BMW318CI, post: 742407, member: 45256"] Guys, updated information Last Saturday my mechanic changed the leaky vacuum hoses and 4 spark plugs. The engine now starts smoother by a margin and power delivery is much more smoother. The engine also vibrates less and much quiet. The thing is the idle of the car still runs abit lower that causes juddering when at stop lights. The idling RPM with A/C on now is about 850 rpm and with A/C off is about 650 RPM. Please kindly advise my next steps ? My mechanic suggested cleaning the Idle Control Valve and Throttle Body. But he mentioned there is gasket in between the throttle body and manifold might be broken if he taken it off. Is there such thing ? [/QUOTE]
