It's your Oil control valve. Just replace it. Order from Sewell. How many miles has it been since you changed your oil?

get an engine flush or at least change your oil. i had the same problem and i changed my oil and it went away.

i just changed the oil last month...yea... the car have 169k miles on it.. its high..

thanks for the help.. but on the tested when plug in, it also mention mis-fire..but dont mention too much about it... imma go head and change out the oil valve and spark plug too... do i have to use the double tip oem or upgrade to iridium plugs? any other input would be nice.. thanks again much

I'd stick with OEM.

your op made it sound like an engine problem, is the roughness and bad running due to the engine or the suspension?

engine.... run rough that the whole car shakes... its like ur running 5 cylinder or so....its not normal.. its like too much friction thats is holding u down....
