I had something very similar. I highly recommend a throttle body cleaning. Even a small amount of dirt makes a huge difference in your idle. It was like night and day. Its an easy start anyways. Hi, I have the same problem; every once in a while, the engine will almost stall because the rpms drop t...

Hi Guys, Frequently in cold weather, the left side windshield washer nozzle (driver's side) does not spray any fluid. The other nozzles including the headlamp nozzles spray normally.

Hi Guys, My car has been very reliable upto today. Today, after starting routinely, the charge system warning indication illuminated.

Hi, My moon roof drip water in the cabin near the driver's side region. Sometimes the water will also drip near the A? pillar (on the driver's side). There is no dripping when the car is moving at high speed. Dripping is observed only during very slow speeds (<10km/h) and when stationary. I checked ...
