Re: Running rough



   Sounds like a dying (becoming clogged) cat/converter to me. Unfortunately expensive to repair on 16v's.

Subject: Running rough

Anyone have any ideas about this:  Last night I started the car and it idled rough.  I let it run a minute to see if it would clear up.  Didn't happen but it does idle at the normal speed (900-1000) and it slightly hesitates when throttle is first applied but seems to clear up after 3k rpm.  Exhaust sounds absolutely horrible.  Just thought I'd let the great minds of the list chew on this one.  TIA
