    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

Hi,

I am a new owner of a 2012 Genesis 3.8 with 40k miles on it and I noticed that, once the car is warmed up, it idles at around 500rpm and the idle is kind of rough.

Is that usual for a Genesis? If not, what should I be looking out for?

Also, what could I try to smoothen the idle ? My first fill-up was with 91 premium but did not notice any changes. I read on this forum that GDI injectors cleaner might help.

Thanks in advance!
 
Make sure last oil change they didnt use a generic oil filter can cause a rough idle supposed to use OEM part.

It should be around 900-1k when warm. I would take off the throttle body and clean it. Then add a can of Chemtool B12 to a full tank of gas and run it.
