If your 2001 Alero V6 is idling roughly, it could be due to several issues such as a dirty or failing idle air control valve, vacuum leaks, or spark plug problems. Additionally, a malfunctioning mass airflow sensor or fuel delivery issues could also contribute to poor idling. It's advisable to check for any trouble codes using an OBD-II scanner and inspect the ignition system and fuel injectors for proper function. Cleaning or replacing faulty components may help restore smooth idling.
