Rough Idle VR

[audiosoup]

Hey all.... just wondering if anyone has some tips or suggestions. I was an idiot and bought a car from a car yard without a warranty. Now its playing up a bit. When i first start it the car shakes a fair amount when in idle... and when accelerating slowly from 90 to 100+ it seems to shake aswell but doesnt do it if i accelerate fast after 90! This is my first car and im freaking out that its something major.. any help would be good! thanks

hey bud, check your plugs, leads and coil packs, if possible replace/swap with known good ones... if no good then replace fuel filter, mine did same thing till this process of elimination, also check if ur exhaust has oil in it, if so ur PCV valve under the plenum is probably stuck open or leakin

Sicccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk one noooooooob! Might want to change your Ride from a 3.9 to a 3.8. Certainly wouldn't be taking advice from someone who thinks they have a 3.9L Ecotec or someone suggesting to replace some of the most expensive things first rather then a cheap fuel filter first.
