    Hello, just wanted to ask if any City 05 - MT -VTEC owner experienced erratic idle problem

    Noticed the issue when the engine is already warmed up na. ( only at low RPM), issue at 1st / 2nd gear

    - no issue or palyado on high RPM
    - no issue pag malamig pa car , only experience this pag mainit na car
    - exhaust smells bad


    What was done :

    - cleaned the throttle body
    - replaced 1 ignition coil
    -replaced air filter
    - spark plug replaced 2 months ago ( HONDA Dasma)
    -fuel filter replaced

    But issue still there.

    Reading on other forums

    - EGR cleaning?
    -intake manifold cleaning?


    Thanks in Advance.

    Thank you , , dinala ko siya sa ibang mechanic, pinapalitan sa akin lahat ng ignition coill,, got surplus sa evengelista for 1250 each, mahal ng original na new honda coil, 4.2k each, butimakabili ako sa pasay

    Now engine idle is OK , walang sabit pag accelerate, salamat at nasolve yun issue ko sa idle.
