190E vacuum troubles
My son left his 85 190E at my house to sell because he was moving and it was running poorly. I tried to do a tune up and it got worse. I've been 2 years trying to fix this car. I've put in new plugs and wires etc., then I replaced the valve seals. then I discovered the disconnected vacuum line under the intake manafold. now it runs ok above idle but won't idle worth a darn and the driver side doors won't unlock from the outside and the drivers door power window won't open. today a fusable link inder the dash on the driver side burnt out when I opened the door. can any one give me some direction other thast to a junk yard. This could be a nice car, it only has 113k on it and the body it clean.

First
you need to be in the w201 section.Next if you have a large vacuum leak in any system it will affect idle.take it to an indie shop that can run a smoke test and locate all the leaks and then it should run like a top.It is barely broken in.

ask in the w201 section for a good shop near where you live.
