5.0 Running Rough
Hi all, about a couple months ago my 5.0 started running rough. The idle is rough and bouncy, and you can feel the car shaking a bit. When revving the engine or accelerating, there's hesitation/missing (the car putters). Also let's say I'm cruising at a steady 3,000rpm...I can see tach needle twitch/bounce.
I tried cleaning the MAF, cleaning the IAT sensor, cleaning the IAC, cleaning the throttlebody, resetting the computer...all to no avail.
Any other suggestions...setting the TPS voltage? What does this do?
Thinking it may be the distributor? Is there a way to test the distributor or visually inspect it for wear?
I'm thinking about getting a used distributor just to try and see if this is the problem.
I'm just trying to get a list of possible causes and ways to diagnose. Would really like to avoid going to the mechanic to diagnose this.
Thanks.
