Vibrates at Idle with Check Engine on
Whats up guys? Great site new user, new Rover owner.
Anyways down to business, I had my `96 Disco SE7 for about 3 months or so and about last week it started vibrating pretty noticable at park and idle, but is smooth running as soon as i get past about 10mph or so. Of course the check engine light is on and is steady. I already changed the plugs after taking it to advanced auto parts to get the code for what was going on and it read misfire (no I did not get the exact codes sorry) and he suggested new plugs. Got Bosch Platinums but only got a increase in perfromance but it still vibrates. Any suggestions? Hopefully economic suggestions! Thanks

Oh yeah that might help. I only use premium, about 113k, havent checked the wires not sure how to. How would I go about doing that? No I havent decarboned the engine. How would I do that? Sorry Im a little rover illiterate but thats why I signed on; to learn.

Consider buying a set of Magnacor 8mm. wires from Rover Connection on the web, they are an exceptional wire that will last along time and carry alot mor spark to the plugs.
Go to you favorite auto part store and buy 1 qt. of any of the engine flush products, oil and a filter, one can of carb spray and 3 cans of an additive called SeaFoam and 2 feet of vaccum hose that you can connect to one of the small vaccum connections on the intake manifold. When you get everything, let me know and I'll walk you thru one good engine decarboning.
Take care,
Mike

If you haven't changed the wires in the last 30,000 miles, make them go away, they are probably causing you some problems. One easy test would be to go out in the evening, start the engine, open the hood and see if there is any sparks from the wires to the engine.
