Mechanics is a fairly logical job. However, if there is indeed a phenomenon that is sometimes difficult to understand, it is an unstable idle or acceleration holes. Whether it concerns a Kia Clarus, or any other car model. However, we are here to help you. Indeed, the cause can come from a large number of parts of the engine block, or even electronic.
