Default Lt1 stumbling and rough idle
All of a sudden, while driving, my car starts stumbling under 2k rpm and idles pretty rough(shakes the car noticeably). It also stumbles when accelerating under load, though not as noticeably. I.e. in fifth going 60, it will stumble if I try to accelerate.

You may be missing somewhere... Check engine light ?
