- 2001 Explorer XLT AWD
2001 5.0 XLT - 158,000. Runs rough during acceleration. Smooth idle and no codes. Scanner looks clean.
Changed plugs, wires, coil packs, no help. Still the same.
Its not as rough as a misfire - I did that by missing a new plug wire when I was changing them.
Happens in all gears, except for maybe 1st taking off from a start. Can't feel it then. I live on a hill, and starting from the bottom of the hill in 1st is pretty smooth actually.
Rough whether the torque converter is locked up or not. I was thinking it was a fluid problem, but I can watch the lockup on my scanner as I'm driving.
I do have some torque converter lockup shimmy, its not that. This is pretty much constant.
Happens under hard accel and moderate accel. Steady speed its hard to notice.
Nearing my wits end. I've put 140,000 on this truck, so I know every sound.
