    Default vr rough on idle

    in the past week, my car has been a bit rough on idle and occasionally on start up, it seems to be fine but every now and then it is a bit jerky on idle, feels a bit lumpy and a jerk on the car. have no idea what it could be?

    So if you get an oxygen sensor error every now and then, and you have a rough idle, would it be a good indication that the o2 sensor needs to be replaced?

    Sorry to hijack your thread, mr OP :P
