well,i dont see any black smoke coming from the muffler in idle,and smell normal,the only thing i notice is when you stop in a red ligth,the car start runing but youu feel the car hesitates,i mean you push the gas pedal and you feel the car slow at the same time,but in idle is ok,i try to check spark plugs,air filter or any broken hose and i let you know,thanks syko :thumbsup:
