Hey all,
Wanted to share my spark plug change experience. 2013 CX-5 Sport has 58k miles, 6 years old now. Only owner.
Noticed after switching between my CX-5 and my Odyssey that my CX5 vibrates a bit when idling. Nothing concerning, Id describe it as an annoyingly perceptible vibration that my newer Odyssey doesnt have. I think it comes on so slowly over time that you dont realize until you drive another car for a while.
I was initially worried that perhaps the intake valves had carbon buildup and needed cleaning but I really dont think thats an issue with these cars (especially with my highway commute). Found another thread that kind of hinted at a vibration at idle that I thought I had. They did some stuff along with changing the spark plugs and they reported their idle smoothed out.
I can report my slight vibration at idle is now gone. All I did was change my stock spark plugs with the equivalent Danko Iridium Plugs. Smooth idle now to where I can feel a difference when the AC compressor is running or not (like I did when new).Vibration idle was just large enough to mask the two different feelings through the wheel and my seat.
