Will New spark plugs improve rough idle?
In general, it’s best to replace spark plugs as part of preventative maintenance based on manufacturer’s specifications. Symptoms of misfiring spark plugs include rough idling, uneven power when accelerating, and an increase in exhaust emissions.
What happens if I put the wrong spark plug in my engine?
Each type of spark plug has a different internal resistor depending on the vehicle and the engine specifications. Fitment of a spark plug with a different resistor to that recommended by the manufacturer can result in poor engine performance and permanent damage to components in the vehicles electrical system.
Do you need a gap gauge to change spark plugs?
You need a feeler gauge to gap your spark plugs properly. Gap new as well as old spark plugs, even if the package says that the new plugs are “pre-gapped.” To avoid problems, work on only one plug at a time, in cylinder sequence order.

What causes engine revs to drop when idle?
3) Once at normal operating temperature, the engine misses badly while idling. It idles smoothly for a second or two, then misses, which causes the revs to drop suddenly, and then the control system seems to increase the idle speed to counteract the drop in revs for a second, and then the cyle repeats.
Why is my Ilde so bad at idle?
Also very hard to start because of periodic ‘backfire’ while cranking that brings engine to standstill. Idle is perfectly smooth for first 1 – 2 minutes after overnight cold start, before missing at idle starts. Missing and hesitation worse the hotter it gets. Turning on air condtioning makes ilde worse, with more frequent stalls.
What’s the problem with a ” rough idle “?
Rough idle, bad hesitation… This problem started suddenly. Very rough idle with a repetitive cycle that is smooth for a couple of seconds then misses badly, occasionally stalling. Worse problem is bad hesitation when accelerating after throttle at idle position, sometimes stalling.
