Re: Rough Idel

You might want to try upgrading to some better plug wires; I've heard about those really smoothing out the idle. I would also run a scan on it to see if the computer has memorized any codes recently that may be causing it to run rough. Just out of curiosity, what type of intake did you get? IDK if that could cause it to idle roughly (if it's not tuned properly) but it's just a thought.

Re: Rough Idel

I would do the same and just get a good one like the FS you mentioned. That may help with the roughness slightly, and you'll also get some better hp gain.

Re: Rough Idel

i agree if your "cold air intake" isnt getting cold air then whats the point if its forcing hot air into the engine that would make it run hard too. how many miles does it have on it b/c maybe your fuel injectors need replacing
