    2014 seems to idle harder at a light lately....

    Hi fellas. Lately I feel like I've been idling rougher at lights. I don't know if this is all in my head because I also drive the 2017 G4 which has more sound dampening and better motor mounts. I posted a vid on youtube, please tell me if anything looks or sounds off. I'm concerned I have a mount crapping out?

    Have you tried using Techron fuel system cleaner lately? Are you using Top Tier gas?

    I'm concerned I'm missing this circular rubber screw on mount thingy as I've seen them in other Mirage pics but its just an unscrewed hole in my ride.

    Didn’t Fummins mention a difference there from one version Mirage to another on that motor mount?

    By the way where is he?

    Oh and make sure your oil filler cap is secure. A leak there can cause your symptoms.

    Find all the bolts for the air box and tighten them up. Then, take some electrical tape, wrap it around the snorkel thing where it fits into the air box, reinstall the snorkel, and it should be less annoying.
