Engine shaking while driving
Today when I started my 1995 F150 to leave work I noticed a shaking from the engine. I pulled out of the lot and drove for about 5 minutes which was about 2 miles. It was shaking so bad that it seemed like not all of the cylinders where firing. My shifter (manual trans) was shaking all over the place. The more I pressed the gas the worst it got. So the first chance I got to pull over I did. I stopped at a gas station and called my dad, he said he would meet me half way. So while I was on the phone I just let my truck continue to idle. It seemed to idle ok. I let it idle for about 5 or 10 minutes and then when I got in to drive away all was normal. It was sure wierd. I replaced some vacuum hoses which where cracked. I don't know if that was the problem or not. I sure hope it was. Any clues? Thanks Fred

you say 95 model year, I've never worked on a EFI 300, but when a non-EFI 300 starts shaking and not running , its often the EGR mounting gasket has blown out, the EGR is loose or just stuck open. cracked or missing vacuum cap can make it runn real bad at idle.
