VIBRATION IN IDLE
I OWN A 98 EB WHICH IS VIBRATING IN IDLE
DEALER CHECKED AND CHANGED VACUM HOSES WHICH HELPED A LITTLE BUT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.
WAS TOLD VIBRATION IS NORMAL FOR THIS SIZE TRUCK AT THIS AGE BUT I DO NOT BUY THAT.
IS ANY ONE ELSE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM OR MAYBE HAVE A SUGGESTION
THAT MIGHT HELP?
THANKS FOR THE HELP....

VIBRATION IN IDLE
The 5.4L is notorious for a rough idle and nobody seems to know why. It must be an inherent design flaw. To help alleviate the problem, I've heard everything from cleaning the MAF, IAS and throttle body to replacing fuel filter and oxygen sensors. I recently cleaned my throttle body, installed a new air filter and fuel filter and my Expy runs smoother than ever at around 47K miles.
