Arrow Weird idling...possible miss in the engine?

I didn't want to do a search on this topic since I didn't know how to accurately pinpoint the problem.

My car has about 95k miles on it damnit. The idle is a little rough sitting at stop lights or warming up. Plugs are ok and pretty much evreything else is stock (meaning nothing else has been changed on it as far as electronics). It's an '01.

Anyone ever experience this before?

Probably getting used to weather dude.. ECU adjusting to recent change from rain to heat probably. Just dont rev to counter or its getting all thrown off. Try the map whack/ecu reset or possibly even replace the map sensor if you gotta.

Just drive it for another week or so after to see if it continues.

When the last time you did a valves adjustment? I am not saying this might be the problem. I think the best way is bring your car in for check up.

Yes I do need to get my valves adjusted. How much does that cost usually?

I haven't whacked the MAP or replaced that either, but it looks like I may have to now.
