rough idle
Well l, I did the oil dipstick test and the engine did not die. Does this
mean that I can assume there are no (major) vacuum leaks? Also when I
disconnected the idle stabilizer valve the engine still ran rough. Does this
mean that the problem lies elsewhere? The roughness has actually spread.
When I accelerate during one of these rough idle spells, the engine
sputters up until about 2500rpm where it smooths out. Sometimes when I'm
cruising at about 75mph or so I can feel a slight hint of a surging but just
barely. Is there anything else I should try before I bring the car into the
shop?
