When first starting the car for the day, as it starts to warm up the car's RPMs will jump, and the car will stall. The rough idle only happens between 1 and 2 RPMs, if I accelerate past 2 RPMs, there is no problem. Once the car is warmed up, there is no problem with rough idle or acceleration.
Also, when I fill up the gas tank, the car will idle rough and throw misfire codes.
I changed the spark plugs; this solved the problem for about 2 weeks.
2 days ago, I woke up to a dead battery that was only 2 years old and the rough idle at start up is happening again.
I was told that it was a timing system issue and I should just get a new car without any real details.
I am thinking it could be an alternator issue. There is some occasional whining coming from the engine bay, no ticking or grinding.
Any help would be appreciated!
