Sounds like you need a tune up and someone adjusted the engine speed up to keep the motor from turning off

SOURCE: my 97 ford f250 heavy duty has been idling rough

depending on which motor you have it may be a simple fix or you may have a cracked engine head. At a complete stop - turn on your A/C if it dies then I would be thinking cracked head. If it stays running then it is most likely either the TPS throttle sensor or the MAP sensor is very dirty and needs cleaned. You did not say how many miles are on this truck

Testimonial: "THANKS! it has 125k miles. would'nt have thought cracked head cause it doesnt leak a drop anywhere. is the TPS or MAP senser an easy fix?"

Reverse gear crunching

Hi. Maybe a vacuum leak or a auto choke issue keeping the idle high. If the idle is too high then the reverse gear will crunch.

Ford Ka 2000 is shaking (misfiring?)

Yup, you said it yourself, Your a parts replacer and not a mechanic. I understand friend. Your engine problem is the fault of a bad or really dirty fuel injector. Take it to an Auto Zone and ask them to check the codes on your vehicle. The code will read P0304 if it's # 4 cylinder that's misfiring. We call it a dead cylinder that doesn't seem to always be dead. Because normally it just shakes a little at an idle, is smooth going up the gears, until it gets into overdrive and it will shake and vibrate like all is going to come apart. Find out which cylinder is dead and change that injector. Done.
