Pontiac Repair: 2001 Firebird V6, spark plug wires, dirty fuel


Question
My firebird idles rough.. I took this to a dealer shop and it still is running rough. I have only 66,000 miles on it.

Answer
Hi Tracey:

Has any service engine soon light come on? that would be the first place to start looking for an issue. that envine for the most part runs pretty good and doesn't have may problems. the 2 most likely problems are either bad spark plug wires or dirty fuel injectors. that's it for common issues and either of those things can give you a rough erratic or unstable idle. The last possable cause for an erratic idle would be a dirty throttle plate. good luck :}
