Vibrating or Missing upon acceleration, 5.4L
I have a 2001 F-150 4x4 AT. When I went to work this morning I noticed a vibration upon acceleration between 1500-2000 RPM. I'm not sure if it a vibration or a misfire. I need to drive it more but it only does it during acceleration and is fine at higher speeds. Anybody seen anything like this? Thanks in advance.

5.4L Problems, missing, vibration, misfire codes
We have a 2006 F150 5.4L that has given my husband fits for months. The problems it started having were: missing (or feeling like the transmission was jumping in & out of gear), vibration, would not accelerate when cold, drinking gas, etc. He has an OBDII code reader and would get misfire codes and other codes (I should have kept up with them). He did replace the coil packs, plugs, some kind of solenoid (I don't remember what it was called), and a dozen other things. I finally took it to the local Ford dealership and had them put in on their analyzer. They finally decided that the catalytic converter on the drivers side was stopped up. They took the O2 sensor off and it ran fine (although loud). These trucks had a TSB because of a vacuum line on the brake booster. My husband had already fixed that but the Ford technician said that during the time of the vacuum line problem it could have been running rich & stopped up the catalytic converter (my daughter's boyfriend was driving it at the time). Anyway, today my husband took care of the problem (if you know what I mean without going into details) and it is running great. He "worked on" both converters just in case. I know there are a lot of problems with the 5.4L that can't seem to be resolved. Hopefully, some of you might find that this is what your problem is and be able to "fix" it.
