2010 Ford F-150 4.6l slight vibration when parked/idle?
Thank you for reading. Truck has 45k miles, it has a slight vibration I can feel on the brake pedal and door and console when I'm idle and parked. It's a very slight (in and out) shake/vibration.
It is not bad or violent shaking, but just enough for me to notice.
If I keep the door open and I touch the door I can feel it better.
What could it be?
It could be one or more of a whole load of causes. Such as one or more worn spark plugs, one or more fouled spark plugs (usually an easy fix: take the vehicle for a fast hard run for about an hour, a.k.a. "An Italian tune-up" which burns off any deposits), one or more coil packs which are past their best, a dirty air filter (will reduce the idle speed a little, causing lumpy tickover), a weak engine or transmission mounting (or a weak engine steady arm bushing if your vehicle uses steady bars, most don't), low compression in one or more cylinders (not common, especially at that low mileage). Even silly things like a poor engine earthing (US = grounding) can cause it (again, an easy fix: check the black battery cable makes good contact with the battery post and that there's no corrosion under either end of the engine to body/chassis earthing strap).
Check a few obvious and easy things to eliminate them as causes and after that consider getting a repair shop to read the diagnostic codes
It is a misfire (minor) that will need to be diagnosed. -could be fuel, or ignition issues.
- Car overheating, slight leak, rattle when accelerate - What could this be? Hi, I have a 1993 ford Taurus. Lately, my car has been overheating and I have noticed that there's a bit of leak. I have been keeping it full and it the temperature was fine. Just a few hours ago, the coolant was full but it skyrocketed to hot and makes a rattling noise when I accelerate. What could this be? I just got an oil change about a week agao, could this be related?
- I parked my 2017 Ford Mustang in my apartment parking garage on the 4th floor for 2 days with out moving it When I left it there I had more than half a tank of gasoline. When I returned to drive the car the gas tank was empty and the car would not start. There was no gas in there at all. Is there a mechanical answer for this?
- Slight knocking sound from car but when I put clutch on it goes? Then comes back when I take my foot off the clutch I drive a ford KA 2008 I had the clutch changed in May 2014 I have a feeling tho the guy didn't change it because he was taking ages to print me a receipt saying the printer needed ink I dunno I found it suspicious The gears are a little stiff too Any help? I'm in the uk thanks
- I bought an Actron CP9125 Code Reader to try and diagnose a rough idle at cold start on a 98 Ford 4.0 engine. The rough idle had not caused? The CEL to come on. I plugged the code reader in with just the key on and pressed read and the little asterisk goes half-way across the screen one time and stops. I press the read button again and it reads 0 codes. I was thinking it would scan multiple times to check for pending codes or other issues. I tried it with the engine running and the same thing happens. Is this code reader operating properly?
