Rough Idle/Skipping

A couple weeks ago I had a Code 16. Changed Opti, Spark Plugs and wires. The code went away. Now the problem I'm having is when sitting at idle the engine is skipping a lot and the voltage drops especially when you are running the A/C. When you are driving the car runs fine. Any suggestions on what to check? Thanks!!

Re: Rough Idle/Skipping

The low voltage you referred to, is that measured at the battery? If so, it should be approx. 14-15 VDC (engine at idle, no A/C). If its much lower, it may be the alternator. Are you using under-drive pulleys? That would account for the lower than normal charging voltage.
