2004 Ford Explorer

Question: Engine Vibration at idle and uo to 15 mph

Question

Visitor, 4.0L V6, Flushing, NY, August 16, 2010, 08:39

Mi. 66800, I have an engine vibration at idle and below 15mph coming from engine. Vibration goes away when accelerating beyong 15mph. Vehicle purchased new in 2004 and has no engine, transmission demage\failure. Recent repairs include, dealer replacement of rear ABS sensor and reprogram of computer. Another mechanic changed out plugs and wires, compression check done on engine (all cylinders ok), ran through 2 bottles of concentrated fuel injector cleaner. Other than vibration run really well. What could be causing this vibration and what could I expect for a repair bill. Thank you all for your kind attention and assistance.

    Is this condition when the car is warm? cold? Or constant? At first guess, I am curious to see the condition of your engine mounts. Pass by the shop anytime and I can take a look for you. Just mention repairpal.com so we know not to charge you for a free estimate.
    Mechanically yours,

    Thanks for your response. The problem was corrected. The harmonic balancer needed to be replaced.
