A vacuum leak is one possibility.
No, but something that could cause uneven idle could cause the check engine light to turn on.No, but something that could cause uneven idle could cause the check engine light to turn on.
High idle, irregular idle, difficulty in starting the vehicle, etc.
A vacuum leak could cause that.
Yes, it can cause low/unstable idle or die off at idle.
could be a number of things cracked distributer cap, bad sparkplugs bad plug leads,setting, or bad igntion condensor if automatic transmission,it could be automatic idle adjustment on engine
The most probable cause would be the idle control on the engine. When you put a car in gear, there is a "load" put on it (the transmission is using power) and the idle speed normally drops. The idle could be dropping to the point where it becomes unstable and causes the engine to vibrate.
A car can idle too low because there is a leak in the vacuum. Cracks or breaks on the vacuum hoses in the cars engine could be the cause of this.
Your car will idle high until the engine begins to warm. You could set the idle to be a bit lower, but that may cause the engine to stall out when it's cold out. The engine should begin to lower the RPMs when it is warmed up.
If the check engine light has not come on, it is most likely a vaccume leak.
How high does it idle in park? It could be a few things depending on the amount of idle. It could be a vacume line, it could be your idle screw. If you will post or email me at mudislife2@yahoo.com the amount that it idles at than i can help you more from there.
There are several things that could cause this. The first thing to investigate, though, is the idle speed your engine is set at. As with any engine, if the idle is set too low, the engine will not continue running.
I blown head gasket can cause an engine miss which one cause a rough idle.
