My car runs good, and the engine feels plenty strong, but when i am stopped(like at a stoplight), my engine seems to run a little rough. I feel a very small vibration through the car, it is just enough to sense. I know there is no misfire, codes, or SES light. It almost feels to me like the engine is idling erratic, but the rpm needle stays perfectly still. I just took notice to this about 2 months ago. Could the cold weather have something to do with this? What about the timing? Or could the new plugs and wires be faulty?

have you taken your MAF screen out? because my car doesnt idle too steady and a little rough since i did. I also recently replaced my PCV valve, and it didnt help any. Im just kinda used to it now and it doesnt really bother me anyways. Check your plugs and wires if you havnt taken the screen out though...those can cause a rough idle if its been a while since you have gotten a tune up or if one of your wires are bad.2000 Navy Blue T-top Camaro A4<br />TSP Rumbler <br />Carsound Hi-flo Cat<br />!MAF screen<br />Whisper lid<br />HPP3
