Rough idle
Hello guys, to make a long story short, An injector stuck open on my 05 5.4 and bent a rod. I had a new rod put in and all new revisedMotorccraft injectors. This was about a month ago. Truck has ran great for the past 3 weeks until today I put it in park and it idles real rough, put it in gear and it smooth as butter again? (Once in a rare while it will continue to idle rough in gear for a few seconds but then clears up.) New motorcraft plugs were put in right before it bent the rod. The truck runs real strong other wise. I am about done with ford this pickup has been the biggest pile I've ever owned one thing after another and just when I think its fixed its some other stupid problem. I will be giving it a good lookover on Friday but you guys have any ideas? Il start by cleaning the maf and throttle body. Could it be a bad coil? Thanks

I would check for codes. Check engine may not be on but you may be lucky enough to have a "pending" code and lead you in the right direction... BTW you can usually get a chain auto parts store to check it for free (Advance or Autozone)...read the scanner yourself or they can print out whatever codes.
