Default Two problems please help

Hi all,

I have two problems I know of with the car and I have no idea what could be causing them.

The car has a very rough idle. I changed plugs and air filter and oil. No check engine light. It seems to be at its worst when the engine is cold. I can feel the engines rough idle in the car and on the engine. The car runs perfect to redline and there is no hessitation or powerloss issues. It just idles like crap.

Second, I got a code p1606 with a scan tool. it is described as "Rough Road/Engine torque signal from ABS: Electrical Malfunction" Now I searched and everyone one with this problem had the ABS/Brake lights flash on the cluster. I do not have this now. I just got the ABS fixed because I did have the flashing lights. No lights anywhere anymore.

Can anyone help me with this.

Default Can't answer your second question but in regards to the rough idle >

you might want to consider replacing your MAF. I had some cold start issues and a lean code and when I replaced the MAF those issues were resolved.

Or consider trying to clean the MAF in some Isopropl.

Default I think trying to clean first is a good idea yes?

What should I use...99% or something else. Also, can you just buy this stuff at a drugstore or any other store??

The p1606 code is still not solved so any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

thanx for the help.
