Low power Running Rough!
What the hell I am at a light a the car shakes a little more than normal. And I am experiencing low power. Has anybody had any similar issues? I suspect it could be the IC pump but I haven't read anything about the running rough part.
I am pretty pissed off I have only had this car a month and I already spent money on a full service of all fluids about $1,000. It has an Air Pump code. I am starting to feel like getting rid of it. The car only has 49k miles and I am really regretting it.

To your post - I've had 3 faulty IC pumps but my cars never shook at idle. There are a multitude of possibilities that could cause a shaky idle.

you seem to be having an unfavorable share of problems with the vehicle... you may want to look into it, it can't hurt...

Running rough and shaking could potentially be an indication of a MAF failure. In my older M113 N/A engine, this is exactly what would happen when a MAF failed. CRC makes a spray that can be used to clean your MAF and sometime get it working properly. I have yet to take a look at one in the M113K engine. I don't think your IC pump would cause the car to run rough, just no blower operation.

Took the car into the dealer.
1. Car has a bad air pump and relay. (car already had the recall)
2. Bad thermostat
3. Cats have been replaced with the incorrect ones. SL Model Cats
4.Misfire on cylinder 8...they replace the wire and switch the coil packs.
All in all they said that the pump,relay, therm, and cats have to be replaced. the misfire on number eight needs to be further trouble shoot. They want to do a compression test and maybe even have to remove the head.
I just don't get why it is rough sometimes and not others. If it was a bad valve of dead cylinder wouldn't it be rough all the time.
Anyways now that I know about the cats it would have probably not been covered by any extended warranty. Thank for that advice but that would not help me. I am about 5k upside down towards any trade in right now although that is an option. Because the repairs quote from the dealer was 6500 and thats before they even figure out the misfire.
Any suggestion are appreciated
