Question 2003 4.6 rough idle

I have a 2003 f150 4.6 with a rough idle. I've changed mass air sensor and idle air sensor. Any ideas?

Is the check engine light on?
What codes are set?
Your changing part without any proof you need them.
Good luck.

Whoops meant idle air control valve not sensor. To much on my mind.

Clear the codes, drive it and and see what comes back so you start over.
Codes for those parts should have lighted a CEL.
At the moment you don't know what the situation is.
Good luck.

You need to go to the Diesel forum.
This is the gas motor forum for 97 to 03 years.
From the looks of the codes you have a harness issue of some sort for so many codes.
Good luck..

Could a bad fuel filter cause the rough idle

I got a reply but it does not show up in the thread.


x06, x06, x06.
Is that for this thread?
If yes are you saying 306?
It's misfire cylinder 6.
That sure will cause rough idle.
It pays not to run with to much old history after confusions sets in.
If not disregard the above.
Good luck.
