yeah it can give you a rough idle, or like mine yours can be messed up and your computer wont know wether to lean out the a/f mixture or richen it and it will go back and forth, also causing your service engine soon light to come on and with a regular code reader it will tell u running lean bank 1 and 2 and make u want to change ur O2 sensor like i did but i just replaced my IAC valve last night and it turned the light off n everything is kool
