Base N16 slow acceleration

Hi everyone,

Just picked up a 2011 N16 Base manual a few months ago and now I get very rough idle on cold start. Engine shaking can be felt in the drivers seat, as the tach hovers around 1100 RPM, until after a minute or so it will go back to a nice idle at around 7-800 RPM. In first gear I get hesitation in acceleration, and generally low torque in all the gears. It is a struggle to get it up to highway speeds.

Just changed the spark plugs and its not throwing any codes. Any ideas?

You could clean throttle body & MAF sensor. I had bad idle & it was dirty MAF sensor. Change air filter while you are at it.
