What is causing my Vauxhall Zafira Life to have a rough idle?

I have noticed that my Vauxhall Zafira Life has been idling very roughly lately. It almost feels like it's going to stall. I have checked the spark plugs and air filter, but they seem to be in good condition. What could be causing this issue?

Hi Melissa, a rough idle can be caused by a few different things. One possibility could be a dirty or faulty fuel injector. Another possibility could be a vacuum leak. I would recommend taking your Zafira Life to a mechanic to diagnose the issue and provide a proper solution.

Hey Melissa, have you checked your ignition coils? If they are worn or damaged, it could cause a rough idle. It's also worth checking your battery and alternator, as they can affect the idle as well. If all else fails, I would suggest getting a diagnostic scan done to pinpoint the exact issue.

Hi Melissa, another common issue that can cause a rough idle in Vauxhall Zafira Life is a faulty idle air control valve. This valve controls the amount of air flowing into the engine while it idles. If it is dirty or damaged, it can cause the engine to idle erratically. I would recommend having a mechanic inspect and clean or replace the idle air control valve if necessary.
