rough idling
I have just bought a 1993 hyundai excel from an older lady with 54000km on it and the car is in excellent shape. I have replaced the sparkplugs and everything else looks fine. The care accelerates perfect with no problems but as i slow down the car idles rough and takes about 10 sec. to smooth out.
Any ideas? Jeff |

Have you checked the EGR valve? Sometimes it gets stuck open because of carbon deposits. You can either try cleaning it, or replacing it. A new one will probably cost between $65-$110 depending on where you buy it from. Faulty EGR valves can cause rough idles, and sometimes a reduction of power in the car. |
