Idling issues

I have been experiencing very rough idle only when my car is stopped at a light or on park. I did a tune up cleaned the injectors and the intake system with seafoam, and took it to the dealership. They could not find anything wrong. A/C compressor works fine they said they couldn t even feel what i was talking about. (Never going to a dealership again) do you guys have any ideas?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Um, yeah. Have YOU checked the mount?

Does the car really have a problem? If the dealer people said it's normal, maybe it's normal. Compare to a few other identical cars.

If the dealer said they can't find what you described, did you demonstrate your problem for them?

Re: Idling issues

Look. My driver side front control arm bushing was ****ing shot. As soon as it unbolted, the thing fell the **** out.

The owner had me convinced it had a tranny problem shifting at 2k RPMs. But nope, it was a 35$ fix and it ran ****ing fine.

Engine mounts can **** UP ALOT. Especially when there's movement.

Idle problem can be intake related. Clean the throttle body and IACV.
