FORD EXPLORER ROUGH SHAKING VIBRATING IDLE DIAGNOSIS & FIX

Рет қаралды 132,254

Күн бұрын

In today's video we take a look at my 2008 Ford Explorer w/ a 4.0 SOHC V6 engine. I've been noticing recently that the engine vibrates and shakes during idle. I don't believe it's a misfire. It seems more like a vacuum leak, however we don't have any trouble codes or DTC stored. Follow along and I'll show you how we can diagnose this problem by looking at fuel trim numbers using a very cheap affordable diy scan tool and a smoke machine.

@jamesrobinson2433 3 ай бұрын

I purchased a smoker last year and I'm having the same issue you described with your explorer. I just recently replaced a leaking valve cover and while i was at it i replaced the ERG value. So now I'm running much higher than the numbers you have. I have a 1999 XLT explorer with 256k miles on it. I so a lot of maintenance and have everyone tell me to just get rid of it until they ride in the car with me and realize it runs better than theirs. So now I'll pull out the smoke and see if and where there is a leak. That you for your videos as they provide a lot of help for guys like me who want to do their own repairs.

That’s awesome I have the same issue with a 2004 explorer. Got back from shop after a new head gaskets and timing chain it’s still has slight shake. Going to do this on my own have all the tools. Infamous 4L v6 so I was leaning timing chain. Paid $3600 for engine pull etc. Idle was worse. They also replaced intake manifold they didn’t charge for. Lol

Sure glad I found this vid as I have the same rough idle problem in a '03 Explorer 4.6. New plugs, wires, injectors etc haven't helped much. I suspect a vacuum leak as it's periodic and the engine runs great and makes power. I suspect the plastic intake manifold but first I'll have to make a smoke machine. Thanks for posting this!

Awesome explanation and diagnosis. You explained live data to a tee. Spot on, I definitely think you enlightened DIY people. Not a big investment for your OBII. I have the luxury of computers. Definitely enjoyed the application of the smoke test. You did an amazing job catching the bubbling, most people would just replace the valve. If you have an endoscope it can be very useful in tight areas that aren’t visible, especially for mechanics like me that are vision challenged. Overall you earned a like and follow.🤚🇺🇸

Smoke will still come from that EGR valve even with a new gasket because they are equipped with a pin hole underneath the metal circular section, closest to the manifold. Had the same exact issue with a rough idle only at stops, however the misfire and shaking idle disappeared with the AC switched on. I replaced the fuel filter and it immediately corrected my issue. Could barely blow air through the old filter.

Nice job, love your videos!!! 👊 I’m dealing with an egr code 34 voltage too high in an oldie but goodie 1986 ford e-150 Exhaust smells rich… I’ll need to check the vacuum lines next, electrically the sensor and wire integrity checks out, I replaced the egr with one from standard! It’s smoke time next too!!! Very annoying can’t pass smog, and OBD1 🥶 can’t communicate with this beast….

Check your TPS Sensor too!!....Mine had a rough idle, hard shifting, random stalls....No Codes either. I swapped the TPS, and ALL problems were instantly gone! I could never "prove" it was the sensor....but one day I went to start my truck and the idle started going haywire, Then I had a good idea it was that sensor. But these trucks are notorious for throwing them, people forget that.

Use caution though when it comes to aftermarket gaskets on EGR valves. That smaller orifice on that old gasket maybe there for a reason. Ford may be solving some kind of a drivability issue with a calibrated orifice on that metal gasket.
