My 2004 ford explorer limited has about 100,000 miles on it. Recently It started "Shuttering" or "trembling" worse right when started up but persistent through an entire ride. I changed the spark plugs, the air filter and the wires as well as the fuel filter. And now, it seems to be even worse. It makes no difference if the A/C is on or off. It does seem to worse when it is in park versus drive but it is always there. I guess my next step would be to replace the cap and roter but at this point I'm not sure if maybe it would just be better to bring it to a dealership.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!:exp:
 






you must have a 4.0 because a 4.6 doesn't have plug wires.

You also wouldn't have a cap and rotor as you should have a coil pack.

Have you done anything with the fuel system?
when was the fuel filter replaced?
have you tried an injection cleaner?

Is the engine light on? possible code?
