Help!. 04 F-150 XLT 4x4 with the 4.6. w/rough idle. It had 5,700 miles on it at purchase, and now has 19,000. Soon after purchase, the rough idle was noticed. Noticable in park, worse in drive when waiting at a light. Gets better with A/C or defroster on. Multiple times to the dealer, one TSB done with no success. MAF cleaned, and new air filter. Might be my imagination, but seems to get worse when I have 1/4 tank or less of gas. Any ideas?

Replying to: kulczak (Apr 11, 2006 5:28 pm) I joined this forum just recently as I was looking for some help for my own '96 V-8 F-250: it started to randomly go into high reps, which was especially nasty when stopping at a red light, but was also noticeable when driving slowly. I followed some advice I found under this topic here, i. e. I cleaned the connectors to the MAF and cleaned some vacuum connections on top of the engine, a week ago. It seemed to have soleved the problem, thanks to God! |

| My truck started to idle funny about a year ago first it reved up real bad and now it has reverted to opposite, its idle is way low and sometimes stauling and bucking. When i am moving there are no problems just when i am stopped or in park. Does anyone have any idea as to what might be the problem? I have tried to figure it out myself and even have taken for the diagnostic tests and it has not helped me! | |

Brief history:I discover this 11 months after bought new.Went to the dealer several times,they didn't has a solution only to try to reduce Idle vibration.Contact Ford Hotline and denied my claim they said is "normal characteristic of this motor";last week I went to arbitration with BBB Autoline and arbitrator said is a defect of the car,is not a normal characteristic,but she denied too my claim.She said instead the problem exist,is not sufficient to said that truck is unsafe,lost value bla bla bla...I will continue with state arbitrator.Rightn now I have a truck,paid $31000,less than 17000 miles,under warranty,with a "defect",without fixed and waiting.Is incredible Ford!!!!!! |

Manufacturer only said is "normal Characteristic",they know is a problem,is a defect of this truck but trying to explain consumers is not affect normal operation of the truck.Is a "Big defect" but infortunately is not easy try to fight with Goliath.Is incredible that I have a truck with this defect and I can't due nothing at this time.i think if I lost again my only solution is go to other dealer and try to trade and don't mention nothing.
