Hey all, been lurking here on and off whenever an issue has come up with my little Suzu, but finally hit a point where i'm completely stumped as to what's affecting my car. Going to give the best play by play as I can and maybe someone's had similar issues and can help.
My car is just over 140k, bought her in 2016 with 100k.
I was driving home earlier this month and my CEL came on, then went back off later in the day. After it went off, I started having a rough idle where the revs would just randomly drop like the car wanted to die, then it would catch. then started having mild hesitation when accelerating until I get over about 1500-2000RPM, so stopped driving it till I could get it to my shop. They took a look at it and the computer threw them a code about the Intake Manifold Runner Solenoid being faulty, which they replaced, and the car still idled rough and had hesitation again. Brought it back again, this whole time thinking it was the coils, and got a CEL which when they read the code this time did come up as a misfire. Diagnosis this time was oil in the spark plug wells, they didn't charge me for the work to clean it up and gave the car back to me since they weren't 100% is was a leaking gasket, and I will be bringing the car back in a couple of weeks for a "check up" to see if that's the case (I'm not very mechanically inclined). Car runs better after the cleanout, but still occasionally drops the RPM, usually when the wheel is turned, and has a bit of hesitation when accelerating unless I barely tap the accelerator, but runs fine over 1500RPM. The idle in drive (It's an automatic) also seems lower then usual to me, but I also might just be paranoid.
I love this car and it's slowly starting to drive me crazy!! Really hoping someone out there knows what my issue might be.
