My Ford expedition 03 is rough idling the lower the case the more it shakes. Sometimes not always it will cut off after idling for awhile. I just had a tune up, a fuel system flush and my fuel filter changed. Oh and one of my vacuum hoses replaced. Still the same problem. I'm going back to the shop probably today. What do you think it is? And it feels like I'm hauling something when I'm trying to excellent to 60mph. Once I get there its good but still kin.d of feds like its pulling back.

I meant excell, and feels like its pulling. I have this word prediction on that always changes my words to what it thinks. Sometimes not as helpful as others. Still not as big of a problem as my truck. Help please...

Today I took it and they told me to take it to a muffler place they think its my catalytic converter too. How much do you think that will cost for my truck?
