Rough Running Engine
Feeling a Little Jittery ?
If your vehicle’s idle is rough, possibly rising and falling, or having difficulty maintaining a steady rate of rotation, you may have a problem that needs fixing.
Since a smooth idle depends on just the right mixture of fuel and air, there can be many possible places where the fuel and the air are not being processed properly.
Many different problems could result in a rough idle for your car or truck, including: dirty fuel injectors, clogged air filters, bad spark plugs, and a variety of exhaust system issues.
Get it diagnosed by a professional.
Don’t Let the Problem Get Worse…
Some more serious causes of a Rough Running Engine are:
- Head gasket leak
- Fuel pump failure
- MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor
- ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor
- IAC (Idle Air Control) valve
- TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) sensor
- Throttle valve
- EEC (Evaporative Emissions Control) system

What Suspension ?
Does this feel familiar ?
Some common signs that your suspension system needs a little TLC are:
-
Continued bouncing after hitting bumps or a dipping when braking.
-
A drifting or pulling to one side when turning corners.
-
One side of the parked car sitting lower than the other side.
-
Difficult steering.
-
Unusually bumpy rides.
Your car’s suspension basically connects the body of the vehicle to the wheels. It’s what gives the driver the ability to steer and move the car. The suspension is made of many things – tires, tire air, springs, links, and struts/shock absorbers.
Shocks are meant to keep the vehicle from bouncing by absorbing any bumps that the car’s tires may hit while driving.
Struts are part of the car’s structure, affecting the steering system and the car’s alignment.

Brake Check
Properly functioning brake pads are an integral part of your car’s braking system. If your brake pads are thin and worn down, you won’t have full stopping power when you need it most.
While brake maintenance is recommended at 20,000-60,000 miles, or inspected every six months, most people have this done every time they get their tires rotated. Depending on the road and traffic type you drive daily, you may need inspections more frequently.
Signs The Pads On Your Brakes Need Changing
-
Squeaking.
-
Grinding.
-
Vibration When Braking.
-
Taking Longer To Stop.
