New PT but rough idle??

[Ed]

I really like my new 2002 PT with 5spd but it has had a rough idle since new. Feels like an ignition miss where it misses a beat too often but the service shop said everything checks out ok and they say the idle is reasonable for this car. This basicaly tells me they can't easily find a problem. Another car that I test drove had a really smooth idle so I know it can be smoother. Other than the idle, the engine runs great and mpg is normal. I will be taking it back to complain to the service manager but just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem like this and found a fix?

Thanks,

Ed

My idle aint the best in the world, but its a 4 cly and its not a Honda, so I just deal with it, but really, I noticed alittle hick up every now and then, but I take it for what it is.....James

Guys/Gals:
Hate to send you to another forum, BUT, check out www.ptcruisercar.com and under the FORUM section find "PT Cruiser Questions & Answers". The topic of "ROUGH IDLE" has been covered extensivly along with numerous other problems. It's probably been covered in this forum also but can't find it right now.

Ya, most have the rough idle. I got mine in december. Platinum champion plugs fix it for some. It didn't fix mine. Some people put on aftermarket ignitions and it helped. I haven't done that. I installed water injection a couple weeks ago. It didn't fix the idle, but I get 15% better mileage around town (~26mpg) and noticabley more power. Haven't checked mileage on the highway. The rough idle is correct according to Chrysler technicians. Kinda makes you wonder if the germans are helping at all.
