What Is A Rough Idle?

What Is A Rough Idle?

Does your car have a rough idle? Let the mechanics at A. Anthony’s Mobile Vehicle Service Inc find out why your engine shakes. Car idle is when your engine runs, but your vehicle stays put. The RPM is low, and you are not pressing the gas pedal. There are a few common causes for a rough idle. If your car engine has a vacuum leak, it disrupts the air-fuel mixture. Your car could have sensor issues. Faulty Mass Air Flow Sensors or Oxygen Sensors impact engine performance too. Sometimes a rough idle comes from a misfire. Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils affect combustion. Excessive carbon and soot, or build-up, in the throttle body disrupts function. Clogged fuel injectors and air filters also disrupt fuel and airflow. Fuel, air, and ignition issues lead to engine misfire. A rough idle is a sign of engine misfire. Our mechanics can help you stay on top of your scheduled maintenance. Services like throttle body cleaning, fuel injector cleaning, and tune-ups improve performance. You can trust our skilled mechanics to pinpoint the cause of your rough idle. A smooth-running engine is as easy as making your reservation today.
