Rough Or Unstable Idle
- Check temperature sensor operation.
- Check Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor (if equipped).
- Check for proper CO setting (if adjustable) on mass airflow sensor. Inspect for broken mass airflow sensor filament (if equipped). Check mass airflow sensor continuity.
- Inspect induction system. Inspect for vacuum leaks downstream of throttle valve. Inspect duct between mass airflow sensor and throttle body (if equipped).
- Check idle speed and EGR valve (if equipped).
- Check injector operation and opening duration. Inspect injectors for leaks.
- Ensure fuel pump is okay. Check fuel pressure and pressure regulator. Inspect for leaks in fuel lines or restrictions in return line.
- Ensure electrical harness, connectors, and wires are not broken or loose. Check all input signals to ECM.
- Check EGR valve (if equipped) for proper operation.
- Check oxygen sensor.
