2018 Yukon 5.3 4x4 "flutters" in idle in D and P, cold and warm


Recommended Posts

Sorry for the double post, initially placed this in the wrong forum. My first post and my first GM truck. Came to American trucks from the world of Japanese 8-cylinders. I bought 5.3 Yukon as used with 7500 miles on it, still in warranty. While I like how this truck drives the idle seems to be unstable.

Problem:

When I stop this 2018 5.3 4x4 6-speed Yukon SLE at the traffic while transmission is in Drive (fully warmed up engine) the idle is fluttering (feels like hear misses a beat, tach needle moves a tiny bit too).

 

I am sure that dealer will not detect anything or see anything and classify all is normal, however 2019 Tahoe 5.3 that I drove in is butter smooth. I am wondering if there are ways for me to narrow down the problem with idle. I know it could be dozens of things from leaky intakes to spark plugs or injectors. I hope this community points me to the areas to check. 

 

Thank you in advance!
