guys i need to know what myt be causing my car to have a rough idle im aware off the spark plugs/leads alternator, pritty much all the cars electrics not big on engines..but i have noticed that when the car idles the harmonic balancer seems to jiggle around when it spins..like the centre bolt spins roughly ALTHOUGH when i rev it up a bit it spins fine and smooth...lol i dont know if its normal or what? maybe the pod filter may be causing it to rough idle?? ive built a enclosure for it, so its boxed off from the engine and i have 3 intakes runnin in to the enclosure...could it be struggling to suck air when in idle?? not sure but concerned about harmonic balancer
Does the harmonic balancer move when the engine is off? Sometimes the rubber lets go and causes it to wobble.
Throw a tin or two of Nulon or Techron injector cleaner into the tank ....may make a difference and I'd double check that harmonic balancer - if it fails you are basically stranded.
my cousin has a tin of fuel injector cleaner but no instructions ..so should i just pour the whole tin into the petrol tank??..and itll go to work when i run the car?
If it ain't got no instructions I'd question that it is actually injector cleaner....but if you are convinced it is injector cleaner then usually its 1/2 a tin to a tank. It can work in some cases and is not guaranteed...but it 'can' work. Best of all its cheaper than a proper 'injector out' clean ($12 versus $250). But I'd still look closely at that harmonic balancer.:thumbsup:
