Hey LexAnt,

Maybe I should go to Serramonte. What year GS3 4 do you have? Have you had any of the problems? low idle, shaking?

Also,

I noticed that my engine is pretty loud? I'm not quite sure what I'm hearing, but it sounds like a ticking, or a clicking. It's not loud to the point where it annoys the heck out of me, but it's noticeable. My old acura was smooth as silk. Anyone?

If the low idle goes away when the AC is turned on, then it's the same problem people are seeing.

You can adjust the idle on the throttle body, because the cable is probably loose. You have to take extreme caution not to raise the idle more than about 50rpm at a time till the idles smooths out.

You can get first hand help if you approach us at the EOS meet. Threre are several of us who can show you how to do it.

I've got a 98, but only 40k+ miles so no problems yet.

Cool. I just want to see whether any of you guys had any of the GS4 related problems, like front end shake, low idle?

I just got a 2000 GS4 with 52k and I already know I have the low idle problem and front end shake problem. Do any of you have either problem and have you taken it to the dealer? Were they open to helping you? I've researched and read that some dealerships may or may not help. Thanks!
no problem, anything to help.

i had the low idling problem, but lately i havent' seen that. if you keeps your AC on all the time, it will go away. or you can try to adjust the throttle cable A LITTLE BIT to kick up the rpm slightly. when it comes to time for me to take away engine cover i would do that too

front shaking, yes, i have it. but a lot better since i adjusted the steering pretensioner. you can probably talk to your dealership about it. however it's not 100% fix, it's better but not completely gone.
