What causes rough idling in a Celica GTS?

I experienced this problem after my car was leaking motor oil due to old faulty gaskets that needed to be replaced. Apparently because of the oil spreading everywhere it reached the engine mount. The oil combined with the heat from usage caused to wear down the rubber portion of the engine mount. I noticed the rough idling was gone once that piece was changed. Side note: It also helps to make sure your timing belt is well calibrated to determine proper idling. ANSWER: Another posibility is a vacuum leak or an air leak between the MAF meter and the intake plenum.

What would cause a 1997 Ford Escort to run rough when idling?

The most common cause of rough idling would be a bad or clogged fuel injector. Also look for the hose on your EGR valve. They tend to come off in hot weather. If the hose comes off the engine will definitely run rough. I had to put a small hose clamp on mine to keep it from comming off. Spiritchsr1

Does bad spark plugs give you a rough idle?

Yes. Bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires and a bad distributor cap are the common causes of rough idling. If it has been a while since you changed these components, do so.
