Check This Vehicle Free →Often genuinely detectable - poor/rough idle, hesitation, or a noticeable loss of power are real, commonly reported symptoms of this failure that an average driver can notice on a test drive, unlike several other cards in this knowledge base where the underlying defect gives no driving symptom. A pre-purchase OBD scan for P2004/P2005/P2006 adds confidence beyond driving impression alone and helps distinguish this specific failure from this engine family's other real, separately-documented causes of rough running.
