Rough Idle
My 97 has a little bit of a rough idle, usually when its cold/warming up. Anyone have ideas to what it could be?

I gained a rough idle after I put in my K&N. I have new O2, plugs, wires, and I use injector cleaner often. I always use 89 or higher gas too. Can't get rid of it. So I am just leaving it rough idle and learning to live with it.

No i bet he meant clean it. It takes about an hour to take it off, clean it, and put it back on. Fun task for a shadetree mechanic like me. Once i got the TB out, i removed all the electrical stuff--TPS, MAF sensor, Idle control valve, and put it in a bucket of gas and just scrubbed till it shone like new.
