I bought a 2001 Ford explore sport with a 106,359 miles on it. It is a auto with the v6 2 & 4wd. It has not made any weird sounds but it dose have an engine vibration that shakes the truck. It is like a stutter but it still idles normally and runs fine while driving but at a stop it will begin vibrating again.
It dose not ahve any fluid leaks, I have put in new plugs, and it seemded to fix it for 5 min then it started again almost worst than before. Any help is much appreciated. P.S I love you guys site you have helped me many times before do you have a donation paypal?
