You know I took mine to the dealer, they replaced the Gas pump, the O2
sensors, cleaned deposits on my spark-plugs and it stopped idling rough and no
stalling for about a month, now its back at rough idling, no stalling yet, but
I feel it coming on soon.

I'm thinking it may be the plugs they come with, I'm going to change them with
some split-fire or maybe some platinum+ by Bosch.

I'll keep you posted.
