Understood Peter. I thought you were ripping on me for my suggestions as well! I know what you mean though, sometimes the simplest things get overlooked. Like my 190E that I have been trying to smooth out the idle for a year. Only to finally figure out one big problem was the head gasket, and another clogged pre-cats! Then the intake boot I noticed when I had the head and intake off. Now she runs great through the power band but still has a slight idle I feel when in Drive! I replaced the motor mounts, tranny mount, cap, rotor, plugs and wires but still there. Well yesterday I think I figured it out, it is the damn passenger side motor mount I think. In reverse she is smooth as glass, in park she is almost perfect as well, in Drive however I can see whatever is in my passenger seat doing a little slow dance! I must of just got a crap mount. Was being cheap at the time and got a pair off E-Bay for like $60. Now I need to spend $80-$100 on a good one. Oh well live and learn.
