Common questions

What causes a rough idle?

Common causes include worn spark plugs, a vacuum leak, a dirty sensor or a fuel delivery problem. Diagnosis finds which one.

Can you find the source of an engine noise?

Yes. Noise diagnosis is something we do often. Bring the vehicle in and describe when the noise happens.

Is it okay to keep driving if it runs rough?

A mild problem can get worse and damage other parts. If it is stalling or running very rough, have it checked soon.
