Okay so my car is starting to have a rough idle when in drive and stopped. It seems mostly to occur when the car is cold and goes away once warm, but randomly comes back.With throttle the car is fine, no power loss is noticable... also I have no SES (except intermittent from my o2 sensor not being plugged in obx v2 headers)
Anybody else experience this or have any idea what could cause it?
I have 130xxx kms on the car and mods are in sig.
I have searched to no result so please only useful info (or flame if thats all you're good for)

do the rpms keep going up and down?
if so it might be the MAF...I had the same problem. Works great now...
Voted Yes.
I am (was) experiencing the exact same thing at the end of this past winter. The problem seems to be unnoticeable when the outside temps are over 60F, whether the engine is warmed up or not.

I'm guessing it's a very small intake leak that closes when the engine is at temp, or even when the air temp is comfortable. But since winter is over, and the problem has subsequently become rare, it dropped off my radar.
Interesting coincidence seeing this thread.
