My Car (2000 3.8L) has been idling a little rough lately. It idles around 700 or so, whats a normal idle for our cars, and what could be the cause? I've changed spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, and cleaned the TB...My fuel gauge went out a few months ago and I'm wondering if maybe it could be the fuel pump...if not i'm guessing i ought to clean the injectors......

Re: Rough Idle
Alright, I have another idea of what could be the problem...When I changed my ignition wires i noticed that the plastic on one of the coilpacks was cracked in a few places. I was thinking maybe heat damage. So if it was puting out less power than the other two could that be it, and is there any way to test the coil packs? -

Re: Rough Idle
My engine idles around 800. If all the cylinders aren't firing at the same rate, that will cause rough idling.Comment

By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
