rough idle...

Post by templar »

hey everyone, my car is idling kinda weird. it drops below 1k rmps when im sitting still in nuetral and shudders like it wants to stall. I'm going to replace the oil and spark plugs since I just bought the car and I'm not sure how regularly it was maintained before I bought it. Any other ideas on what else to do? Thanks!

check vac hoses for cracks/leaks.
Fast imports only come on two wheels.

Could juss need a engline flush. My throttle plate was clogged with carbon build up. So I got a engine flush which finally did the trick for me. I did replace the o/2 sensor, plugs,wires, fuel filter,pcv valve and erg valve before that though. Turns out juss needed a injector flush.
