Idling issue

Post by benben » Mon Dec 22, 2014 3:56 am

My 2003 2.5 automatic has reached 164000 kilometres and its starting to give me problems. the latest of which being:

when the car is idling for example at red lights the car starts shaking a bit as if its about to stall. when I put it in neutral its abit better than when its in drive (at the lights).
Also the exhaust emission telllight has come on as well, I wonder if they are related.
I have ordered an OBD cable to figure things out but I suspect the spark plugs are the problem as they haven't been changed in a long time.

Idea? :headbang:
