I have an 02 Buick Regal, that has been serviced regularly every 3000 miles oil changes etc, has 74,000 miles on it. Has been well cared for.

1991 Toyota Corolla Runs and Idles Rough

I have a 1991 Toyota Corolla that has had no mechanical issues that I am aware of. Suddenly in the last two days, I feel a kind of chugging or a stuttering. Especially when idling and accelerating but only when the car is in drive it feels like the car does not want to accelerate as quickly.

2000 Honda Civic Rough Idling

I just purchased a used 2000 Honda Civic Ex with 35,000 miles. It is idling a little roughly. Previous owners said nothing needed to be done. However, when I changed the oil, the air filter was very dirty so I changed that.

2001 Nissan Altima – Erratic Engine Idling Problem

I need help on my 2001 Nissan Altima 4-cylinder GXE 45K mi idling problem. During startup, I am getting high RPM about 1200-1300 RPM even after warm-up. When I rev it goes down to 800 RPM, the RPM or revs start to hunt up and down between 900 to 700 RPM. It does not stay to 800-RPM steady normal. So far, I change spark plug, wires. There is no engine code.
