Has anyone had this problem ....mine is getting worse and worse ...going to dealer tomorrow ....only happens coming to a stop , or going around corner at idle ,but its starting to happen alot ....PLEASE HELP


Thanks Todd

 

Little more details please... Lack of power on acceleration, gas smell? My first thought is injectors, but I could use a few more clues.

 

yes about 5 or 6 times, the last time it would start up and quit then the engine light came on, went straight to my dealer and they checked the codes. 4 codes came up and they only knew what one of them was. they called tech line and they told them to check for a bare spot in the wiring harness to the throttle body. they could not find anything and changed the throttle and it has been fine now, for about a month now.

 

Hey vegas(i'm in vegas too) what did the dealer tell you, or they havent yet. Mines doin it too, it did it to the techs at ford country this morning while they were changing the oil so they set up an appt. for tommorrow morning to check it out. And by the way was that your screw at ford country with the scuba plate on the front.

 

Yes that happens to me on occasion, does it spuratically, of course never when i take it to the dealer. I did have the service dept. check on it, they could not find anything wrong. One reason is the yellow wrench light does not come on when it happens.
I have to put it in park, turn the key off and restart the truck, then everything is fine until the next time.

 

Hell yeah that is my beast ...lol yeah I have a scuba plate on the front and of course the plate says "MITONKA" They dont know what it is yet ....ill keep you updated ...this sucks , I love mi screw

 

you mean this truck https://www.f150online.com/galleries....cfm?gnum=4009

 

Mine did the same thing took it in and they couldnt repeat it so they reflashed it. its been good for about a 3 weeks and now its back so I have to make another appt to go have them look at it

Hey Vegas is this what yours does
its starts just fine all the time it just that about 2 times a week. I will be starting the truck up let it sit for a min or two and start driving and within the first 10 min it will just stall out and die. Its happens in all types of weather but its only when I first start up the truck in the morning or when the truck has been sitting for about 8 hours. everytime it happen its when I am at a stop light or backing out my driveway. It fells like I am driving a standard, when I take my foot off the brake at a light and let it idle forward the RPM drop and the truck dies?

 

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! also you in the the southwest part of town cause those houses look a little too familiar and i think i've seen you driving around. I'm living off of jones right behind johnny fontaines.

 

Mine is good now.

 

Wow if I didnt know any better I would say you are stalking me ...lol Jk , but yes I live in Coronado Ranch....

As far as how often ...it happens almost everytime I go to stop for a light or slowdown to make a turn ( and with no PS it can be a B**ch ) . It does it wether or not the truck is cold or hot , still havent heard anything from the dealer as of yet but I will let everyone know what I hear ...

Vegas, my truck is there right now and as i type i'm on hold with them. Good luck with getting it fixed.......................UPDATE, mine is done already, just told me all it needed was a reflash

 

I have to take it back to the dealer to see if they can do anything else for it but who knows

 

Well I got news from the dealer , They reflashed the PCM - didnt change anything - They changed the POV valve ( i think thats what they said ) - that didnt work - They changed the Oil - that didnt work , They changed the windshield wipers - that didnt work , Now they are changing the throttle body assembly ...should know something in the morning I Hope

Yep mine has done the same thing to me a 3 or 4 times now, but not for the last 6 months. When it did happen it was always when i was slowing down, and turning a corner. My dealer tried alot of things, including replacing the gas tank, but it still stalled 1 time after that.
Someday they will figure out what theproblem is, but im not holding my breath.
