Rough Idle.....

Rough Idle.....
I bought my '03 Max about 2 months ago and have under 5000 miles on it. Within the last week the car has had a rough idle. Also, on startup the car revs to about 2000 rpm's and makes a terrible noise. The SES light has not come on. Any ideas? I'll probably take it over to the dealer sometime this weekend. One more thing. Its not the gas because I've gone through two tanks from different stations and no change. Thanks in advance for the help.

This behavior is normal for the 3.5. Most everyone's engine idles slightly unevenly. The bad noise is either the oil filled valve lifters filling with oil or the timing chain. Do a search on these topics and you will find the info.
