[DML] Re: Rough Idle





I have a very similar problem to yours, Shannon. My car usually does 
~900-950 idle and has been fluctuating back and forth a bit like it 
wants to stall. I have also had times when I step on the gas, and it 
accelerated much slower than normal even in 1st. I tried putting fuel 
injector cleaner in my tank, and now I'm going to try replacing all 6 
sparkplugs with Bosch-platinums. I REALLY hope it's not my fuel pump, 
as I have a faint whine behind the dash/hood area. (Of course I 
suppose that's an excuse for a Tankzilla or something- if only I 
could afford that.)
