I recently purchased my 99 Expedition and had no ciue of the prior service that was done on the vehicle. Its a 4.6l XLT and was running fine prior to me servicing it, but of course I decided to replace and clean alot of parts not knowing if any maintaince had ever been done. After replacing everything I started it up and it idles fine in Park as soon as I put it in drive it has a really rough idle, put it in neutral idles fine again, Reverse, 1 and 2 are the same rough Idle as drive.
Heres the long list of parts replaced
- oil pan gasket
- timing chain, guides and tensioners
- timing cover gasket
- harmonic balancer
- idler pulley
- tensioner pulley
- belt
- valve cover gaskets
- positive crank case tube
- crankshaft sensor
- camshaft sensor
- water pump and fan clutch
- upper and lower intake manifolds
- spark plugs
- knock sensor
- fuel injectors
- fuel filter
- DPFE
- EGR Solenoid
- DPFE hoses
- IAC
- Cleaned throttle body and EGR inlet into intake ( was completely blocked)
- thermostat
As i said it started fine and idles fine. its just when its in gear does it have a rough idle. The Only other thing I can think that it might be is the TPS, or some vacuum leak I havent found yet. Also checked the transmission fluid, ( Transmission was replaced 15,000 miles ago) it was a little low added Fluid but it didnt help. Also there are no Check Engine lights on the dash and the computer isnt throwing any codes. Thanks for any input
