rough idle, 22k miles (2007 jk)
Hey all,
Occasionally my JK will have what feel like a rough idle. You cant really hear it, but you can feel it in the steering wheel and in the seat. One one instance it was put into gear and felt like it almost stalled, but recovered.
Before I take her to the stealership (heh..) do you guys have any ideas as to what may be causing it? (Some people have mentioned cleaning out the throttle body with a kit from 3m... to replacing the plugs, at 22k miles isnt this a bit early, even though most of my driving is city?)
Thanks in advance.

Change your sparkplugs. If that doesn't work, clean the throttle body. If that doesn't work... take her in. I changed my sparkplugs after 10,000 and it cleaned up my idle. The factory ones are just sometimes inconsistantly gapped.
