OK - I have only had my 2005 Expedition a few weeks and after reading on this forum either my Ford has developed sympathetic conditions from all your vehicles, I have lost my mind and imagining things, or my truck is sick...
When I got it there was no engine noise. It was louder, of course, than my 4.6 in my Explorer but no knocks, ticks, etc...
Now there is a tick and a rough 'jumpy' idle that you can feel in the driver's seat.
The tick started a week or so ago...
The rough idle started when the temperature dropped below freezing this past week. My idle is between 500 and 600 and there is no discernible change in RPM or engine noise but driver and passenger can feel jumpy idle. I get stutter/hesitation with low acceleration but it goes away if I give it moderate/heavy acceleration.
I read through the Rough Idle Thread but when I checked, what I hoped was the right line there was no change in the idle and no vacuum felt.
And of course here is a vid from the front of the engine, both sides, both wheel wells, and exhaust.
I have a OBD scanner coming from Amazon, it should be here next week.
What the heck? I can't tell my wife I need to drop $$$ into this thing...
