Rough Idle
I am curious about an idle problem. My car noticeably idles rough until it warms up. I want to know if anyone has had similar problems.
I only have 560 miles and it is a 05. I am really having a hard time justifying keeping the car because of rough idle, loud motor noise, rattles...

At any rate, the first thing you guys should do is bring it back to your dealership and have it checked out. It'll be all covered by warranty, and you will have nothing to pay for.
It may be just a small electrical or sensor problem. Nothing major.

Who are you to doubt about it? What brings you to say it's buyer's remorse?
That was just a ridiculous answer from you, what's more, it wasn't anything close to being helpful.

I'm guessing he has an AT. The rough idle is a pretty common problem that we've herard several times on this board. My car has the same problem and it goes away once warmed. I don't think there's anything the dealer can do but t won't hurt to ask.

This thread is going downhill fast.
Biker, who doesn't have a rough idle but a "hunting" idle (dips to 500rpm once in a while and then back to the normal) and wonders what could be causing that.

Thanks for the responses guys, I thought my case was an isolated one. I just bought the car and I was really expecting it to be perfect (no noises perfect idle). I love the looks and I am very impressed with the 4 cly power, little things bother me though; I hope you all understand.

Mine idles rough for the first few minutes too, regardless of it being cold outside or not. Not a big deal IMHO, I've not been concerned enough to take it to the dealer.

I wonder if your PS pump noise and your rough idle have something to do with each other

My GSR had a very smooth idle-I wouldn't call my TSX rough, but it is definitly not as smooth as the 1.8L GSR engine. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If something is really up the "service engine light" or "check engine light" whatever you want to call it will come on.

I know this is old, but..do you guys with newer TSX's experience this? My 6spd 2008 TSX has been doing this since I bought it, it's almost like it "misses" a beat on a cold idle. Once the car's at operating temperature (and has been driven a bit) it goes away.
I'm not counting on my dealership to be able to "duplicate" this, so if it's a normal thing I'll just have to live with it..

I am curious about an idle problem. My car noticeably idles rough until it warms up. I want to know if anyone has had similar problems.
I only have 560 miles and it is a 05. I am really having a hard time justifying keeping the car because of rough idle, loud motor noise, rattles...![Thumbs Down](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsdown.gif)
