Rough Idle just started yesterday
I fixed my last problem. After changing cap/rotor/ICM and checking injectors and fuel pressure, I discovered that my problem with a hard start when hot was a weak battery. I bought new wires and plugs. Replaced two plugs and then it got dark on me.
So yesterday, I went out with some cars. We got on the throttle a little bit (ha ha) and now the idle and oil pressure wants to drop to half of normal and hasn't stalled yet...mainly because I haven't let it by keeping my foot on the gas a little. It doesn't happen all the time....
I'm going to replace the other 6 plugs, wires, fuel filter, 02 sensor, try to check for a vacuum leak and hope its not something more serious.
Thoughts?

Try cleaning your throttle body and IAC motor pintle, too. You can find out how to remove and clean both in the C4 TechTips Section on this Forum.
