I just had a 1988 420 SEL  4.2 Litre motor completely rebuilt at a =
reputable shop. Everything seems fine, leak down test, wet and dry =
compression test -all checks out o.k. When at idle, the motor visibly =
shakes and seems to be missing. The mechanic is even at odds here, and =
might send it outside to determine the problem. Of course everything was =
installed correctly, timing set, plugs gapped, etc. Could this be a =
vacuum leak, fuel/air mixture issue or some relay at fault here? Any =
suggestions greatly appreciated.
    Tony.
