The other day noticed my car starting to idle to idle a little funny, sounded almost like a boxer engine at idle.
thought it may be my plugs, they were only about 6 mo old. i was using 10w30 instead of 5w30 so thought it could be that. So friday i Seafoamed the car, then changed the oil and the plugs Runs great now, but the CEL came on the other day, read it as EGR code, had it deleted and it hasnt come back but my idle is a little weird now, seems like it is idleing a little lower than normal but smoother, has a little bit of a shake too it though, thoughts anyone?

ive ran 10-30w for a few years now without a problem. Oil isn't gonna cause a rough idle anyway. I would say change your wires as well. What did you plugs look like when you took them out?What is the car idling at?
