My car idles like crap. It goes from below 500 to 1 grand then back to about 300 stays there then goes to 1000 idles fine then up and down for a good while then back to 300 chug chug shudder shudder.

The SI lights go all funny when it does this, red yellow, red yellow, off. Oil Inspection Service, off.

Tinkered with the idle control valve that did not help at all. I think the problem is more serious. Make me want to sell my car serious...

Help.

it also smells really rich.
