There is a vacuum leak, Check around the inlet manifold, and any hoses attached to it.

Could be the transmission. Check the transmission oil level. That sometimes causes a whining sound.
Hope this helps.

You might check the pulleys that the serpentine belt runs on. Make sure all are free wheeling and not loose or rough or make noise. You would need to remove the belt to check them.

SOURCE: 2001 Ford Windstar runs rough.

remove the coil pack and look at bottom of it if it shows any cracks coil is bad very common on these vans if you have a noid light check for injector pulse on #4 if you have pulse and good blue spark most likely the injector is bad you have to remove upper plenum to get injectors out let me know how you make out

SOURCE: My 1999 Expedition shakes and runs rough.

I had somewhat of the same problem for a while. Engine light was on and during idle the rpm would drop real quick and then spike, and start surging(shaking and stalls at stop/red lights). I found the problem was that one of my vacuum hoses had collapsed causing this problem. You might want to find out what the code says if you don't know already. If it comes up with a lean code then this could be helpful.

04 Ford Expedition trouble accelerating.Struggle to get to 30 mph Engine light with code p0174 system too lean bank 2. P0172 system too rich bank 1. What to fix?

ok............when you change plugs the cmptr needs to relearn firing order. it takes 3-5 times/restarts before it relearns. I went through the exact same thing with my expedition. a day or two later she purred like a kitten. secondly if you are having acceleration problems you may be looking at a bad catalytic converter. lastly......check your air filter, take it out and see how it runs without filter. that was also an issue I had when it was rough running. good luck

I have a 2000 Ford Expedition that rides rough (front end shakes as if i'm going over pot holes) at around 40 - 50 mph. My guess is...my spark plugs need to be replaced but I'm not a mechani

I'm assuming its petrol as you mention spark plugs. When you say it feels like your going over pot holes again I assume you mean he engine is misfiring? And it's not a steering problem? Firstly I would check the work done on your inlet, If you have any form of leak within your inlet system you will experience loss of power and potential misfiring, you may also hear an induction noise or whistle if there is a leak. Secondly you need to see if its an ignition or fuel problem, it may be easier to conduct a minor service, replace spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter. Unfortunately with the symptoms you have given it could be a whole host of things, fuel pump, ecu! Sorry for being vague.

After starting the 2002 Ford Escape a whistling noise comes from the front of vehicle when idle, also noise goes up and down when accelerating and slowing down.

sounds like a pulley or bearing is noisy first remove drive belt and run engine if noise is gone problem is a bearing attatched to by hand spin and feel for rough or gritty feel chech all pulleys most common is adjuster or idler cant tell by feel goto parts store but a stethescope hearing tool run motor CAREFULLY listen to each area a pulley drives on try that first

Idel rough in park and nuetral, great massager but concerns me

I would take the car to another dealership or a place that has a good reputation for a second opinion I have had several expeditions and it sounds like the spark plugs for the rough idle and the vacuum leak sounds could be the intake gaskets themselves look at the drivebelt if it has cracks in it more then likely they did not change the plugs either as for the shaking take it by a tire place and have them check for any bad belts in the tires and to make sure the sway bars are good and the ball joints but have them to show you not just tell you what is wrong
