9 codes on my truck!!

Had the following codes pulled at autozone when the CEL illuminated.

P0172
P0358
P0357
P0356
P0355
P0353
P0352
P0351

Truck is a 2005 Screw, 5.4, 96,000 miles. I know the first thing Ineed is to change plugs and fuel filter. Can 7 COP's misfire/go bad at once? The truck idled terrible and accelerated poorly last night. This morning its runs okay. Any ideas? I searched all 9 codes and read alot of posts.

You may have the sticky injector issue.

Well, it ran normally all day. I disconnected the battery, pos and neg, to clear the codes and see if it repeated. I drove to work and no problems. Can an injector get stuck open, and then operate normally?

What is the free update? New injectors?

I read it, I have one at home! But if it's running nomally now, Ford won't replace an injector because I say the truck ran bad. If an injector sticks open or closed, it should run crappy then I'l have to limp it to the Stealership...

Or will they take my word and replace them anyways?

Don't wait for it to run bad, - chances are, it'll hydro-lock, - then it won't run at all.

If you have those DTC's in the KAM. Take it in. Copy what glc linked you to, take that with you, tell them you can't afford to have it fixed unless it's covered under the injector warranty.

Those DTC's warrant a diagnostic IMO. Don't take a chance, -it would be allot harder to get a new engine from ford after the fact. Head to the dealership as soon as you can, - just talk to them. - Their familiar with the problem and they get paid from the manufacturer for the fix, - so they'll help you out.

That PO172 is a dead ringer. It's a real good guess you have one or more injectors filling the cylinder with raw (unburnt) fuel. It's getting worse and it may lock up the next time you turn the key. I'm not kidding, - take it in.
