Hi all,

My td5 idles a little rough after having been driven on a trip of about five mins. Doesn't do it all of the time but it did it twice today. Once in the morning after driving to the station and once in the evening when driven home from the station. It doesn't sound like a miss....more like overlap....or if you are familiar with the Mazda Rotary, it sounds a little like a bridge port... I have not noticed any smoke at all. Also, and I will check this a little better tomorrow, it only 'seems' to occur after putting it in park (auto). Again, I will check this tomorrow.

I don't warm my truck up of a morning or evening but I do let the oil pressure build....maybe 20 or 30 seconds. It drives fine and revs up fine....

thoughts?

Cheers
Caine

03 td5 should eliminate the problems with oil in the harness.......
but it wouldnt hurt to check.........

sounds like it could be the egr valve playing up......






but im more interested in the rotary.......you still got one....?

mine does something similar after I come to a halt occassionally, feels like a dog is shaking itself in the back of a ute.
