So I just bought a 2009 F150 XLT 2WD. I'll be driving and the engine will jump RPMs on its own and will vibrate. Usually only happens when I go uphill or around a turn. If I put the truck in 3rd shift... it doesn't do this. Not sure what it could be. CEL is on and throwing P0442 code (Evap) I do not have a gas cap. Feels like it's misfiring but it's not throwing any codes for it. Please help! Thank you and have a great day!
Right. But the truck doesn't downshift and it vibrates the whole truck. Like it needs to downshift, but it can't.
You really think I would be posting this if it wasn't a problem? This isn't my first rodeo.
Hi, when was the last time that you had your trans serviced. Waiting too long can cause the torque converter to shudder. I don't do rodeos, we are just trying to help you with what information that you posted.

Sounds like a torque converter or trans issue if RPM's are increasing and no shift, especially if the truck is vibrating as you say it is.
BTW, may want to lighten up a bit, esp when folks are only trying to help.
