2000 grand am rough idle, sounds like it's missing once it's been running for a bit.

  • Anonymous Dec 30, 2011

    Thanks for the hint's i have changed the plugs. The miss seems to be gone, but it still has a low idle. I guess i will check the timing next.

Seems that the engine needs a tuning. check the plugs , remove and check the plugs, replace if they are found to be worn out. Also check the timing, the fuel filter/fuel pump.It is important to check the ignition pulses and the HT to the plugs.

Rough idle on pontiac grand am

pull the air intake hose off the throttle plate, you will find a lot of black carbor around the throttle plate causing idle concerns. clean this with a intake system cleaner. this will smooth out the 2.4 liter quite a bit

2000 grand jeep cherokee limited 4.7 liter, v8, at first wouldn't start rplaced battery because dead and then replaced starter. ran ok for a couple days. last night started it and hard time with it...

Hi
Pop into to your local garage and have a diagnostic test carried out.
Listen to the advise given. It may save you lots of money, especially if you start the "guessing" game.
It does sound like a part may be blocked or failed though, but the sytem needs to be tested thoroughly first.
Good luck

My 1993 jeep grand cherokee laredo idles rough after warm up. it also idels high around 2000 rpm at start up sometimes and needs to be shut off and restarted to calm idle speed. whats is causing the...

usually rough Idle is not noticable at high ildle. Once it is idles normally try Disconnecting one injector at a time. If the idle stays the same than that cylinder is the culprit. Remove that spark. If it is wet than do a compression test. Should read better than 100lbs of compression.If compression is good take a spark plug and hook it into the end of the plug wire.Lay it across the intake,start the car and watch for spark. If you have spark than you probably have a bad injector. A miss will cause the vehicle to idle high. The computer is trying to keep the car from dieing out. Hope this helps. No spark do a tune up.
