The car is running kinda rough, not erratic, but just shaking a bit and growles, more than usual, when transmission is on D but the car is standing. Does that sound like an idle speed control? Also I noticed that the more accesaries I turn on the rougher it runs, and feels when standing with transmission is engaged. The car should compensate with higher RPMs as more accessories are truned but it feels that it doesn't.
Hey Lynx.... as much as I know about ASR The light will go on every time your rear wheel spins even a bit.Meaning if it loose traction (ICE)
