2004 EXP rough idle PLEASE HELP!!!
I have a 04 Eddie Bauer with 17000 miles (5.4L) the engine seems like it was missing at idle only. I know this sounds like a broken record but its driving me crazy.First I replaced the IAC with a new one from Ford that didn't seem to do anything, then while surfing the other posts I decided to remove my EGR and cleaned it that seemed to do a little but not alot. It seems that if the motor idles at 750 or more its fine ,but anything below that is rough. Do you think that all IAC's from ford are bad? In other words did I replace my IAC with another bad one . Any help is greatly appreciated THANKS

I did take it to the dealer and you will never guess what he said???? Yep he said first that he couldn't find anything and the when he did feel it he said and I quote" IT IS NORMAL" then I told him if its normal why did it not do it for the first 14000 miles of its life. So that is why I don't go to dealers anymore
Thanks for your reply!!

I had a problem with my air ride compressor vibrating and the dealership told me it was normal, but when I told them I was going to make a complaint to L/M Headquarters, they quickly found the problem.
Seems like you have to threaten them to get any warranty work done right.

I tried that with our 02 explorer it had a transfer case problem that went back 4 times and still wasn't fixed so they sent a rep from detroit down to our dealer and I quote " I don't know what to tell you sir about your vehicle; however I am leaving for my vacation tommorrow and I don't have time for this" Now please don't get me wrong I AM the biggest Ford fan out here but they need to do somthing with their "factory trained" service people.I personally feel that if they would use their ears to diagnose a problem not a computer they would do much better. I know these trucks are very complex so computers are essencial but if a motor has a misfire at idle and you can feel it and see it then duh!!

Three thumbs up for you my man
Its funny when you get so bothered by something you fail to think of the obviousI will give it a try asap . Thanks for your thought; might try to adjust tps first . Usually the least expensive works best
