There are many things such as defective high tension wires, defective cap and/or rotor, old or fouled or poorly adjusted plugs. Also take a look at the #7 and 8 spark plug wire routings. They should NOT be beside one another, they must have wires 5 and 6 between them from the distributor up to the holder atop the valve cover. As they fire consecutively one sometimes tends to also fire the other. This is clearly indicated in any Ford manual for this ignition system.
If you have a "check engine" light on, start with having the codes read. A misfire code can tell you which cylinder or cylinders are having problems. A misfire could be the cause of your engine vibration.
If the check engine light is flashing at 1 second intervals , an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
There are several things that can cause your 2003 or Expedition to misfire. The most common cause is a plugged catalytic converter.
If your check engine light is flashing that means an engine cylinder misfire has been detected
i have a 1998 ford expedition and i had simaliar to the same problem. does it feel like your loosing power? on my truck it was a misfire on my engine coil i would get that check out
That would be an engine cylinder misfire , but either more than one or it can't determine which engine cylinder is misfiring
engine misfire
Most likely a bad coil (each cylinder has one) located at the top of each spark plug
Usually a misfire.
The # 2 engine cylinder has a misfire
It is an engine misfire. Don't accelerate too fast or brake too fast. Get your car into the shop as soon as you can because it can/will cause damage to your catalytic converter.
Bad plugs, wire , coil packs if it has them.
