I have had a throttle body issue in the past but didn't have the same symptoms. The symptoms I had back then were the accelerator wasn't pushing down smoothly and had hesitation. Although now you mention it, there is a little hesitation when taking off sometimes or when i push down to go faster...

I went throught the gears this morning and noticed the rpm drops slightly when in drive and reverse and thats when the rough idling starts. When in park and neutral its ok. Dont know if that means anything. Ive checked transmission oil levels and it looks good and clean

Mine does the exact same thing to me. i think this happens when you lock the car door with your finger from the inside while driving then unlock it with your finger when you are getting out. it might be the same thing when you are using your key to unlock instead of using the button. Even after...

The main drip seems to be coming from the back of the oil pan passenger side. Im putting it in for a service monday, gonna let it sit over the weekend. After the oil change i was thinking about putting some blue devil stop leak in.

Yesterday I had noticed little oil dots under the car had started from nowhere. It's dripping down from a few places I can't actually see where it's coming from. Hoses seem fine, car not overheating, Engine oil level is fine (will keep an eye on it). Probably could use an oil filter change...

My vy headlights are dull on low beam too. You could always buy new bulbs ($10 or so). I cleaned my headlights with different grit sandpapers, polisher and a few coats of clear. It does help but once headlights get oxidization on them, it usually returns no matter what you try. For the sake of...
