Rough idle?

Jul 18, 2007 1 Replies

Recently had an engine light come on. Reset light by cycling battery power. After that the engine idled rough at stops, but after a while idle is OK. Air filter has been changed recently. Could this be a O'2 sensor going bad? Car is a 2002 GS300 with 113K.



Thanks for any help.


A bad O2 sensor will usually not cause a rough idle. As to the reason for the check engine light, you can take it to a place like Autozone where they will lend you a code reader. Scan the trouble codes and post the code here so we can try to help you out.

More common causes for rough idle are a fouled idle air control valve or mass air flow sensor.
