It looks like it will take a lot of disassembly to see the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line routing. I then checked Bentley. They show the regulator but not the vacuum routing. I would suggest listening for vacuum leaks and following the sound. I am surprised that you can get the engine to idle with the false air entering the vacuum port. I woud guess that the port will be near the ICV connection to the intake manifold. Phil

Hummm Something it wrong here. It does idle well. and runs like a bandit. But my gas mileage, rural...mostly open spaces with virtually no traffic light I am getting about 20mpg. I should be getting better. I think this vaccum problem might be part of the problem. _________________ 1995 BMW 325is

Phil's might also be like this. This vacuum line is difficult to trace. But, on a '95 325, the fuel regulator is located just under the fuel rail. Others may be able to easily tell where the vacuum line goes. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BF31&mospid=47430&btnr=13_0369&hg=13&fg=15&hl=49 _________________ 1997 M3 Auto Sedan 1999 M3 Manual Coupe 2002 530i Premium/Sport Package

The car runs good, so they cant be too far off. I need to park mine beside another 325i and do some comparing. _________________ 1995 BMW 325is

That might be the reason the car is idling fine. If this is the case, you will not hear any hissing. What year is the car/engine?
