motor running rough
 
so coming from the store tonight and the car is running fine. im sitting at a light and the engine starts idling rough. i accelerate and the car is stuttering pretty bad. after about 20 seconds or so the car starts driving fine. when i get home the car is idling pretty rough. any ideas? plugs were changed less than 4 months ago.

Fuel filter? Had you just filled up with gas or were you low?

just got gas a few days ago and still on full

EGR can do this if the valve starts to fail.

I'll go with water in the gas before you do anything that cost money. Burn this tank out and change the filter and see what happens. Good luck

fuel filter cheapest fix. my friend has a gt, and his starts idling rough or wont even at all, i think he had a bad oxygen sensor up on the top side of the engine, or it may have been an egr valve. i cant remember exactly, but u may have bad gas. or caught a drug.

If it does it again, i'll bring it to the expert. By the way, I need to return your scratch remover compound stuff to ya.
