[QUOTE="clovi5, post: 29139, member: 23134"] Good evening everyone,Just when I decided its ok not to give too much attention to the car, just this evening when I'm about to head off to the gym after a whole day of not starting, it started off just fine. But after driving it for about about 10 minutes, the engine start to have rough idle. It will idle at very low rpm (about 200-300 rpm). I was doing some reseach and saw some foreign forums talking about this as well but their problem mainly consist high idling. Mine is low and if i rev it, the moment i release the accelarator, there';s a chance for the engine to die off due to the low idle. I also notice a strong smell from the exhaust. So the car must be running pretty rich now.Also, during this low idle, i notice i do not have as much brake force. Got a few close call and now I'm kind afraid to go back home haha..Main suspect,- clean the ICV- Faulty MAF- Faulty O2 sensor- Or could be entirely something else.Appreciate any advice on this. Got a feeling that the car's pretty unhappy that I have not been putting much TLC into her as I did few months ago.Thanks in advance guys. [/QUOTE]
