another shaky idle.. ..
Ok i have a 08 f150 with a 4.6
I used the search function im not new to forums so i dont want to hear that haha.
Ok for starters it has been to ford and they said no misses at all it runs fine.
It starts up great but once it warms up it starts the rough idle. Its just enough to shake the antenna and rattle my loose mirror.
I have cleaned the MAF sensor.
Replaced intake manifold gaskets because of coolant leak.
New auto lite double platinum plugs.
New fuel filter.
New air filter.
My next thing to do is use some throttle body cleaner.
Replace pcv because it has some oil around it. Could be a vacuum leak.
And maybe replace egr too.
Any idea. I like the truck just want it to idle right.
It drives great at speed and i get between 14 and 17 mpg. So it seems alright. Ran injector cleaner and put good synthetic oil in with a motocraft filter. Any help would be great thanks.

There's a difference between the truck itself shaking and the idle being bad.
You need to find out which it is; is the truck shaking or is it a bad idle? I ask because your engine and idle could be fine. Something like a bad motor mount could be causing the shaking...........

I did the maf last night and disconnected the battery. It seemed better but still sucked. How to i clean the throttle body? Do i have it off and blow it out with choke carb cleaner? Or just try the stuff you spray in while its running.
