Often caused by faulty spark plugs, ignition wires, or issues with the fuel injection system.
Idle problems
Can be due to a dirty throttle body, faulty idle air control valve, or vacuum leaks.

Can occur due to dirty fuel injectors, a clogged air filter, or malfunctioning oxygen sensors.

Common causes include issues with the oxygen sensor, mass air flow sensor, or catalytic converter.
Rough acceleration
Often due to problems with the fuel delivery system, such as a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump.
