Did you ever figure out why your vue was idling rough after the timing belt replacement? Mine does the same thing. Did you need a valve adjustment?

Hi,

I think you were looking at a different post that wasn't ever finished.

What is happening? If it is just a rough idle, did you check for vacuum leaks on the engine? That is the most common cause.

Here is a link that explains how to check:

Let me know if you have already done that. Also, let me know all the specifics as to what is happening. For example, is the check engine light staying on with the engine running? Are there any strange sounds or odors from the exhaust?

Let me know.

Joe
