97 sport
Can anyone help me!!
Just looking for a place to start investigating.
I have a 97 x sport with 167,000 miles on it. I have recently been getting a very rough idle when it is in Drive with my foot on the brake. This rough idle ocasionally happens with it in park also. But always when Im sitting at a stop light( or anywhere for that matter). But i have no problem with the engine while driving.
Can anyone help with some suggestions on what to check, I'm at my wits end.
 






Start by pulling the codes. There may be codes stored even if the CEL is out. Could be the throttle postion sensor. If so, it should throw a code.
