I was told it was the vct solenoid but was wondering if my year even has them or could something else cause it to idle rough Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 8, 2015, 2:55 AM Post #2 of 4 (1290 views) Re: vct solenoid Sign In That should have a code or code pending instead of guessing. Still doesn't mean the solenoid just that circuit. Double check that this 4.6 even has one? T Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 8, 2015, 5:22 AM Post #3 of 4 (1285 views) Re: vct solenoid Sign In Who told you the VCT solenoid was the culprit? Your Ford 2v 4.6L doesn't have variable cam timing. VCT for the F series pickups wasn't available on the 4.6L until 2009. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

OP - Most of these engines at least earlier ones has full attitude with the long spark plug boot going down thru valve cover and sealing properly. Spark would jump out of unseen boot to ground and that plug not fire. Once just pulled out you could see evidence of spark tracing on some. If you cancelled each one at a time you could find the one quickly if that. IDK, then was tossing for a whole quality set and would keep a working long one for the next same complaint till new set could be done - that common. New sets never did that again? BTW - about any V8 will smooth out even with one cyl. down at higher RPM means little. Tell tale was feeling exhaust exiting or hearing tailpipe with a single putt, putt no random even before opening a hood, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
