A32 Rough Idle

[ash123]

Hey All, the stuttering idle is gone after the plug coil change, the gear issues went away for awhile after servicing the gear selector thingy, but it came back. Had some ignition (starter) issue at the same time. Since yesterday, the engine is shaking/vibrating violently. I think I am back to where it all started, the engine and top overhaul issue. Will take the car back to the mechanic for another checkup tomorrow and keep you guys updated.

Ash123, Like I said earlier this idling problem will haunt you for a while. Happens to me b4 and trying to fix it almost breaks my bank balance . It could be just the leaky gasket or valve not close or seated properly. Since there r many gaskets in our ceffie ranging from manifold gaskets (there r 3 i think.), the twin head gaskets since u did the top overhaul, leaking injector/s , o-ring , TPS sensor (Did ur mech dismantle the tb and sensor?) , vacuum hoses, intake hoses ( especially near the joints), etc .. Best is to ask your mech to look at the spark plugs and do a compression test on each cylinder to detect any leakage. Spark plugs will tell the health of your engine. There r many more, but pls do check the basics first before you jump to more expensive items.
