Hey guys driving on my way to work today my car developed a really rough idle. RPMs fluctuate around 650-750 and the car keeps burping. On one stop light the car completely stalled.

I had a check engine light on from my exhaust (never been an issue before) and my check engine light didnt start blinking.

The car drives ok, after about 2k RPMs, any ideas on what this could be? I was told maybe a boost hose was loose?

thx.

 

Sounds similar to the symptoms I had when my inlet piping was loose/disconnected...

 

With the bad snow we are getting hammered with today and tomorrow may not be able to get the car to the shop till Monday, is there any damage from driving it in this condition as long as I dont do WOT and boost?

 

Might be your plugs, run a scanner the codes will pop up. You can borrow mine if you want, I'm in the city tomorrow.

there is a hose in the vacum ,, not connected ...

 

Thanks for the offer Im going to leave the car at home today and try to make it out to TKX tomorrow morning if possible. Hope its just a quick and easy fix.

 

i have the same problem its the hose @ plenum y-pipe, pain in the a-- to get to, it's throwing all kinds of codes this is the 2nd time for me.

 

The code was related to the left cam shaft timing. Looks like its not a piping issue. Wont know 100% till Monday and the car is 4,000 miles out of warranty. Hope its nothing more serious than a cam shaft sensor that needs replacing. We'll see.

 

WOW - An '08 that is 4000 miles out of warranty. Hope all works out well with the car and it is only a minor problem.

 

Its a broken left cam shaft, needs engine out work to be replaced.

 

Hopefully you will get some goodwill to help with your problem. Good Luck!
