A few weeks ago my x started to idle rough upon startup. After a few seconds or until I hit the gas it went back to normal. The problem got worse until I checked one of the spark plugs, cracked it, and drove it home (ran worse).
The next day I replaced the spark plug and noticed that a vacuum line was disconnected in the front/lower part of the engine (small one with green cap). Replaced the vacuum, and it eventually ran better and better, now is almost back to normal. However, 50% of start ups are slightly rough, then settles down quickly with time.
Anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
