Dylan2012edge Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hey how’s it going. I have a 2012 Ford Edge 3.5 v6 and I’ve been having this issue for sometime now where at idle it’s running like garbage. It’s idling at like 500 rpm and the rpm goes up and down and is all over the place. Also every 15 seconds or so there is a loud bang when the rpm increases. I’ll try to attach a video. The vid doesn’t do its justice but it’s a lot louder in person. Also my mpg is a whopping 10 mpg. I had spark plugs done 15k miles ago at ford. I really think this is an issue with the plugs. Also the car Boggs a lot whenever u try and move from a stand still. It will hesitate that bogg really badly. Curious if any had the same issue. Pls let me know https://share.icloud.com/photos/0x5qUMLmDMDqm-kquiYYLhxgA#Hauppauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I suggest getting the stored error codes read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan2012edge Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Ok. I have no check engine lights or anything. But could there still be codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a sustained condition the light will stay on and a code stored - an intermittent will also store a code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan2012edge Posted April 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 Ok. I’m going to have to get a scan tool and check. Do u think it could be like a misfire because the spark plug weren’t gapped correctly by ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do u think it could be like a misfire because the spark plug weren’t gapped correctly by ford? Places like AutoZone, if they're still open, will read the codes free of charge. It's possible but unlikely that plugs were installed with the incorrect gap, and the gap would have to be quite large to cause a misfire. Best post the video to YouTube - folks don't like having to download it, but rather watch it online. The noise doesn't sound like the engine internals. You're assuming its the spark plugs, when it could be the Evap solenoid or something like that - that's why the codes are a good starting point for a diagnostic approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to get an OBD2 scanner connected and read the live data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
