88 Grand Am Rough Idlenuarctable 06-16-2008, 11:44 AM Hi all. New to the forums, but I like what I see so far. Wish I had found this place for all of my previous problems... Anyway, Ive got a 1988 Grand Am, 2.0L Turbo. 123K miles. My daily back and forth to work car. All of the sudden it started to idle really rough like its running on 3 cylinders. And it sounds really bad through the exhaust. And its not all the time. I can start it up in the morning, and it runs fine, I drive it for 30 minutes at highway speeds 60-65 mph, and come to a stop light, and its idling rough. Light turns green, I go a few blocks, and its fine. Somedays it may only do it once or twice, others not at all. Sometimes I start it up and it runs rough, and after the highway driving its fine. New fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs, and wires in the last 8 months. PCV looks good, and rattles when shaken. Fuel injectors sound OK (the old trick of using a long handled screwdriver, and I can hear them clicking). Could it be something electronic with the computer module? A plugged catalytic convertor? EGR valve? I running out of ideas, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks randy78 06-16-2008, 01:04 PM try cleaning the IAC and the EGR of and out, clean off carbon very common issue with bad idle good luck vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
