Did anything happen to the car recently? Is the CEL on? Do your electronics work fine? Did you test your alternator and/or battery?

I put this on my car and I love it, It is a voltage stabilizer, it helps a lot.

Is the rough idle happening on a cold start, warm start or both? Does the engine sound like it is going to die at 600 rpms?
