New spark plugs, very strange rough idle?
Hi folks, I need some help with my rough idle situation.
I changed the spark plugs on my 2011 E93 a week ago, and immediately after that my I got a rough idle. At the beginning it was so bad that car would stutter and shake every few seconds when idling. But when that happened, the rpm was very steady at ~650 and I got no code. Now it has gotten better to a point that I though it cured itself...except when I operate the hard top!!? Whenever I open/close the top when car is idling, it starts to stutter and shake like before. The shaking would continue until ~10 seconds after the top is done moving. I am really confused and can't make any correlation between the two. Is it the battery or what?? Thanks |

I know this dosent sound very helpful but whenever I do engine work that involves the coils or plugs (walnut blasting, valve cover gasket, spark plugs) my car always idles like complete crap and sometimes misfires bad with the jb4 on @ WOT. I always try taking them out, cleaning them, checking the coils and it does nothing. Lol the only thing i have found that works is driving on it. After a week or so the car always goes back to normal no rough idle no misfires. So of you can just wait a lil bit longer really good chance it will go away on its own as long as all cylinders are firing.
