535 power loss--happy ending



After requesting advice regarding an erratic but drastic power loss in my 89
535 (refusal to rev above 2000 with check engine light, etc.), the problem
appears to be licked.

Shawn Anderson requested the check engine code (which *should* have been done
earlier) and it revealed "O2 rich." From there, it seems it was simply a
matter of tightening some of the hose clamps around the sensor (loosened from
time and goofing around with the airbox), and viola--problem's gone (knock
wood). Not even enough time for a sip.

Many thanks to the list and especially Carl Jerrits, Pat Donahue, Brett
Anderson (I may be mixing lists, but what the hay),  and Shawn Anderson.

Now if I can ditch that bizarre 40+ mph wobble.. (more later)
