Rough Idle when in Drive and stopped only
#41
Never found a solution for sure yet. I think it may be the fuel injector spider as that is the only thing that makes sense to me.
jnewtonav: in your case I would check the plug wires are correct at the distributor cap. Very easy for a shop not to pay attention and get the odd side incorrect.

jnewtonav: only making a suggestion since the trouble did not appear until after you have work done. It is an easy check, takes a few minutes to do and eliminates one possibility.
Could be that the shop did not get a plug wire all the way on or a plug is cross-threaded....could be a number of things.
I guess since you had a shop do work, take it back to them and tell them to check everything as something is not right.
Good luck.

check the wires at night or in a dark garage. look for arcing. Easily causes a rough idle

I've had this "vibration at idle in drive" for a long time. It is just enough to get the plastic door molding/window trim of the passenger side rattling. Now I have noticed that when I first put the car into gear, it jumps, which reminds me of a Ford Taurus I had with a bad motor mount a long time ago.
Another clue, but not enough to go after those mounts yet. Is there a way to see if the mount is busted without removing it?

Lanny,
you ever figure out the problem with the rough idle? I am having the same problem on my 87K5. Thanks
