Engine stutter at idle.

My car (1994 Suzuki Vitara 1.6 JLX Auto) Has gotten into the habit over the last few days of stuttering/shaking when in neutral/very low speeds.

 

- The car starts with quiet high revs, and then tunes down after several mintues (when cold)

 

- The whole car seems to shake when stuttering, sounds a bit like it's about to stall (but it doesn't)

 

- The issue was worse a few days ago, but I drove about 40 miles for the first time in several weeks (driving about 5 miles a day at the moment) and the eased the stuttering to some degree.

 

- It's worse when the car is cold, and not an issue when the car has driven for about 30 minutes.

 

- It's a lot less obvious when the car is in drive, even if we are not moving.

 

This is a real issue when the internet is a bad place to go, as asking these questions into google seems to give me 40 different answers! - I'm just wondering if anyone has had any simular experiances?

 

At the moment I think it might be a faulty o2 (or similar) sensor.

 

Cheers

 

Andrew
