just wondering if it's normal that my 2008 v6 ve has a rough idle? What could I do to help? No engine codes coming up, run 95 or 98 in it, have tried injector cleaner didn't help, car only has 129000ks. Any ideas on what could help or is just normal?

Has it ever had new spark plugs? Yes clean everything carefully without damaging anything!
Some say you need an assistant to hold the pedal down to open the throttle while you clean it to avoid damaging the mechanism.

Pushing the butterfly open with fingers is a definite NO NO

Am I able to permanently clear the 2 engine codes as it's nothing serious?
