Take it back to who tuned it up, ask them if they cleaned the throttle body. Ask then if they gapped the plugs before they put them in. Did they put the sparkplug wires back on tight? Take it back and tell them you are not happy with their work and don't take it from them until it is right. Ask for a copy of EVERYTHING they did in their tune up. egr valve or eps sen
Have vehicle scanned to determine the problem Possibly a bad ignition coil
It probably needs a tune up. My 1998 Mazda 626 was idling very rough, so I did a tune-up by replacing the spark plugs and wires. This made the engine run better, but the rought idling continued. I took it to my mechanic, and he found a vacuum leak somewhere, and $270 later, it idles smooth as glass
Its idling rough because you probably have a blown head-gasket and lost compression at two cylinders you need to remove all spark plugs and check each cylinders compression.
have they check the timing on it. sometimes when timing is off by a few degrees it would cause both rough idle and backfiring. also check for a dead cylinder.
Could be a number of things. Start by performing any maintenance items that are due and listed in you owner's manual. If you have not done so, replace all vacuum hoses, including the brake booster hose. Check the booster for a cracked or leaking diaphragm. Replace the hoses one at a time to avoid getting confused. If it idles rough but runs good under acceleration, then a vacuum leak is probable.
Hopefully you got the timing marks lined up? What else did you add? Plugs? Were they gapped properly? Wires? Are they on tight? What exactly is "other things"?
If the 1993 Mercury Villager runs rough when the check engine light comes on and the code reader says 34 and 51, there is a problem with an oxygen sensor and the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. Both parts together will cost around $200.
Brake light switch needs adjusting or replacing. It is too sensitive.
Rough idling is whenever the vehicle's motor "misses" or does not fire causing an imbalance and a loss of rotation reducing the motor's power and causing excessive shaking.
my 1990 300zx is idling rough what could cause this?
Motor is idling rough.
timing off
My 1986 Honda Accord Dx just started idling rough and dieing at turns and stops it is a carburated 2.0 witha maunal transmission
a longer cam shaft will make a car idle rough
You dont you replace the timing control module
I would suggest a new set of plug wires.
At 35mph it runs rough. Also when idling it will quit running, sometimes. Does that sound like I need new spark plugs? How many miles are new plugs & wires good for?
