Idle Badly??
Hi all,
Has anyone else been experiencing a really really bad idle during stops or is just my paronoia? I use to think it was idling badly when the AC was on, but now it seems like I feel it all the time. I can really feel it in the steering wheel and on the bottom of the car where my feet is. I'm a girl that has never owned a car so I'm just throwing out suggestions, but do you think its because I need to change my oil? I'm at 4200 miles now and for my past cars it would get changed at every 3K. Since teh dealer told me to wait until 5K, I'm waiting. Thanks for your reponse guys

mine idles like that too. its just because the rpm is set to idle at 750 rpm and its a 4 cylender. also having 10.5 to 1 compression dosnt make it any better either.

lol ... I'm sorry .... I have no idea what that means, but I'm guessing its normal then .. lol ... So the lower rpm during idle the better or opposite? Can you ask them to set the idle to make it alittle smoother or is this just a stupid question? I'm not even gonna attempt to understand the compression thing.
