Rough Idle

Post by droped@birth »

Well first of all, i own a 03 vibe gt, only mods are injen cai and borla cat-back exaust. Ok heres what started it..... I was racing (DOH) against my buddies 90 240sx, and way i was going really good jumped 2 cars on him, went to shift from 2nd to 3rd, and ran her into first..... For a split second... Well i look back and it def cleaned the carbon out..... But no damage was done that i could hear (ticking, tapping, or anything internal). And he saw no flames thank god. It runs better than ever, but it idles funny... almost like a skip or a slight hesitation. No unusual sounds, and if i just barely press the accelerator, there is no hesitation, no miss. Only at idle.... Kinda like i can here it sucking sparadicly through my intake sometimes too, Think i might have threw the timing off just a bit? I dunno....

I dunno....Don't know, but if it's running fine, I don't think you damaged anything. If you jumped a tooth on your valve timing, you'd know it.P.S. Welcome to the forum.
