Question I

You have a 1993 500E (124036 M119 engine) that has erratic idle jumps up and down and is worse in gear.
My Guess: You have a camshaft position sensor (or timing sensor) that's either loose or is dying, thereby causing the erratic idle and "in gear" situation.

My Guess: The part which might be broken is an "oil supply" seal galley that is adjacent to the water jacket...since the oil supply would be at a higher pressure to force the oil into the water/coolant galley, which is at a lower pressure.

My Guess: #1.) Plugged/clogged fuel injector -or- #2.) Bad plug wire.

Did I win?
