[W126 Coupe] running rich

[Clay Moizo]

Hi Guy's
It's Clay again still playing w/the  88 560 couldn't pass emissions too rich. Took to have ajusted on machince at M/B service and they told me it was a leaky intake manifold, and wanted $1600.00 to fix it. I almost dropped to my knees because another mech. I've had some work done by told me it was listed as 6 hr. job. He said $600.00 unless he had problems w/bolts snapping of and then it depened on time. I once had a 88 560 sel and it was not passing and a different guy put a BB in the hose of the map sensor and it passed perfect, but can't remenber if that one was running rich or lean. But when they opened the hood for that fume test the tester squeezed the map hose to check. Any Ideas on what I should do w/ this car, all health problems I've had, have had me on my back for alittle of 9 Months and can't even walk over 20 ft. 
I broken the same ankle 3 times in the past year because of the leg giving out. Couldn't have invasof Surgery because of comidin for heart. I was just thinking of getting rid of it as, and eating the loss.
Thanks,
Clayton Moizo
