Get the engine code. My guess given the lack of any other information and
with the 112K mileage (later message) stated is the EGR valve. I'd also suggest a good cleaning of the throttle body to address the rough idle if the engine was recently tuned.

AutoZone stores will read the codes for free...others may as well.

Ive had the codes read on two separate occasions in the last MONTH -
first set were P0300,P0341, P0656 - replaced fuel pump. 2nd set of codes were P0300,P0341 - I now realized those are the same codes yet they replaced a NEW part - ignition module. I still have the rough idle even though I was assured by the dealer who serviced it that the idle was gone. I also replaced 4 tires which stopped the car shaking, although I think I still feel it shake a little bit still. |

First time code also included P0171 - these guys are most likely
ripping me off blind. |

I had a similar problem with the car idling rough (kind of bucking) and
replaced a butt load of parts. Turned out to be the EGR valve. Weezay wrote: > First time code also included P0171 - these guys are most likely > ripping me off blind. > |

Sounds familiar. My '96 SL/1 idles a bit rough but runs fine. Engine
light comes on periodically. I ignore it. Brought it to mechanic for its annual state inspection sticker. It passed the safety inspection, but he told me he could not give me one because of the multitude of sensor fault codes in the computer. I disconnected the battery to clear the computer, and drove it for 200 miles. Brought it back to him, and he stated I hadn't driven it enough for the computer to report anything. I drove another 150 miles, all this without an inspection sticker, and sure enough the engine light came on as I was driving it to the mechanic! He stated the same bunch of codes were back in there and it would be costly to diagnose and repair this situation. Its a '96, worth at best $2000. http://www.kbb.com// I see you have already spent about $800. Not me. Bought it new. Got 120,000 miles. I got my money worth. I'll run it till she dies. Or, you wanna make me an offer? Next thing you will need is an oxygen sensor, a catylytic sensor, temperature sensor... cha ching! Cut your losses.

After having done all mentioned, the intake manifold gasket maybe leaking. a quick check can confirm the condition - you will need a spray can of carburetor clean, to check you need to spray the carb clean at the intake manifold gasket at cylinder #1 area. If the engine shudders it means the intake gasket is leaking. You will need to correct problem asap, or unburn fuel will do damage to the catalytic converter. -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ |
