Have your idle air control motor cleaned. there are no idle adjustments on this engine. typically the idle air control valve becomes gummed up with carbon. while cleaning the valve you may also want to clean the mass air flow sensor. you will need special cleaners for both which can be purchased at any auto parts store.

SOURCE: Engine vibrates, shakes car at 1700 rpm, smooth at 2000 rpm

Something similar happened to my van, and it ended up being that I needed to replace a tie rod in one of my wheels. Hope this helps! I know this was posted awhile ago.

Water jackets pretty tight on heads. Replacing engine right now for this problem on customer work van. Pull plugs and look for any cylinders with antifreeze in them. This truck had 250k and same problem.

SOURCE: 1994 ford escort vibrates horribly in idle.

Your Idle air control valve is probably going bad. It is located on the throttle body and is a relatively easy fix as it is only held in with 2 screws. Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!

SOURCE: F150 2003 5.4L Vibration throughout truck with acceleration

When you say "throughout" that would indicate that it is coming from the rear of the truck..

There could be a number things causing this..

It could be a bad tire or a broken belt on a tire..
A test for this is - roll along at 3 miles per hour.. If you feel a wobble - that is probably a broken belt in a tire..
Or maybe even a bent axle..

It could be a bad universal in the drive shaft..

It could be a broken shock/strut or mount or both..

Best of luck !

SOURCE: vibrating when idling in drive, smooths out in

You will have to replace ALL the motor and tranny mounts in a specific order.

2007 V8 diesel sport. Missing badly at idle (650 RPM) when cold, runs smoothly if revs raised to 1000 RPM. Does not appear to miss under full power, and will generally run smoothly at idle when warm.

most likely bad injector tips
have them serviced and raise the idle to 750 rpms as the lower idle speed may not be raising the combustion pressure temperature to ignite badly sprayed fuel ( diesel has to be atomized not squirted )

2008 Saab turbo at idle with vibration?

The only thing I can this is a vacuum leak, either a hose or egr valve.

I hope this helps!

This rough idle business; With the AC on at a stop, the idle is about 600 to 700 rpm and vibrates the cabin. Can the dealer change a computer setting to correct this?

Problem on focus too . Without A/C on it idle's smooth . With A/C on the PCM - engine computer should raise the idle rpm. 850 . The only way to raise the idle would be to have PCM flashed programmed with up dated software . Adjusting the idle anyother way would cause check engine light problem , Wouldn't be able to get it to go out. Your best bet ,take it to the ford dealer and have the PCM reflashed .

2001 ford escort zx2 changed o2 sensors still runs rough in idle. when i turn ac on it helps. any ideals what the problem could be?

I would suspect a vacuum leak to be causing the rough idle. When you turn the A/C on the idle control solenoid raises the RPM's in order to compensate for the added load to the engine. Take a can of WD-40 or Carb cleaner and spray it around the intake manifold and any accessible vacuum lines, when the spray comes across a vacuum leak the engine idle will smooth out and usually increase in speed. Once this is done replace or reconnect whatever the fault may have been.

Vibrating noise coming from rear of car between idle and low rpm as rpm increases noise goes away

this sounds like exhaust resonance. have the exhaust system checked, perhaps you may have hit something in the road.
