anyone selling a truck?

I love my 2003 F150 5.4. I've only had it for 2 months, but I'm getting ready to sell it if I don't fix this rough idle soon. Anyone trying to sell one that doesn't idle like it's gonna stall? This thing's driving me insane!!! I want to buy one that idles right! Otherwise, the truck runs strong and I know it will last forever. Just don't know if I can stand it idleing like this. Anyone fixed their rough/ shaking idle?

Change your plugs, fuel filter, and air filter. Clean out your IAC and run a can of Seafoam through the motor.

Quit being a p***y and do some maintenace on your own... Why would you sell it? On second thought, sell it to me, I'd love an '03 5.4.

Just like Zaairman said... Plugs, coils, fuel filter, change oil/oil filter, air filter, MAF, IAC... There's a several possibilities that could cause it to have a rough idle. Mine had a rough idle and new plugs and coils fixed that problem. Figure it out. I'm sure you've posted in the 'Engine' forum; I've seen your name in there, so It could be something else if no one in there could help you...

I've learned alot on this site. But I'm sure someone will come along with oh, 2000 posts or so and knock me down since they've been on here longer. Im sure I misspelled something or had a gramatical error or used "no pun intended" inccorectly. Oh well, I can take the punishment, haha. Good luck with your truck
