Rough Engine Idle Question? - SRT Forums

Funkquito · 10-01-2003, 11:43 AM

I was on my way back from lunch and got stopped at a light, i noticed that when i was idleing it was pretty rough and shakey like it was going to cut off and i kept hearing a clicking noise every few seconds when it felt like it was going to cut off, my car has 7000 miles on it and it never idled like that before. Can anyone help me on this?

Welcome to the wonderful world of shitty plug wires. Mine did this and of course it was the plug wires. A nice set up Crane Firewires are worth the money or you can visit your dodge dealer and leave your car with them while they attempt to find a problem that is right in front of there face. They will keep your car for two days tell you they can't get it to happen again and you drive your car home to find it again at the first light you stop at. So you take it back and they hold it for two more days then call you and tell you its your wires and they are on back order until next week. Have Fun. Its Wires number 3 and 4 the ones to the right of the engine. They are probably white looking closer to the Coil pack.

I just ordered the MSD wires and coil pack. I'm a little curious to see what difference they'll make. I'll post hopefully tomorrow when they get here.
