To All,
Would a stuck or sticking valve create sputtering in a power band range?
With my truck, between 45 & 55mph when I step on the throttle for a hard acceleration the truck shudders and jerks. If I let go of the throttle and then get back on it the problem goes away until the next time I try it. Also black smoke comes from the exhaust. If I accelerate steadily from 35 thru 60mph this problem does not arise.
Could this be a stuck valve. I am at 95k with orig spark plugs.

My truck is one of the '05's covered under the extended warranty. I've not seen any CEL light yet but occasionally I see a puff of white smoke from tailpipe at startup and sometimes the engine will "pop"(starter straining?) a little bit when cranking and require a second twist of the key to fire.
I'm tempted to go ahead and change the injectors before I run into any further problems including possibly damaging the engine? I can get them for $35 each and think I can do them myself keeping total cost under 300. I've got new spark plugs within the last 1000 mi, but original coils and boots. Engine seems to run ok after starting except the idle could be smoother.
Motorcraft SP515's, Motorcraft fuel filter, Purolator air filter all new within last 1000 mi.
Opinions?

One other question, I can unplug the fuel rail from the cylinders with all the electrical still hooked up?

Engine codes
Good day to all. I have a 2005 Expedition that recently lost power as I returned from a 300 mile trip. I took it to the local Auto Zone and had them put it on the machine.
I got codes P0011, P0022, P0302, P0305, P0307, P0308, P2198. The guy who helped me had no clue to what was going on. Can someone please give me some help. It will be much appreciated. I was told possible cam phasers.

This letter specifically states that Ford will pay for repair to injectors that are stuck open or closed. But earlier in the letter it says this stuck condition could result in "damage to other powertrain components." Does anyone have any experience making a claim under this extended warranty?
