Ok..

So today I go to start my truck and it took 10seconds to start(not battery, its a new optima yellow) After it started it barely ran, I limped down to discount auto parts and we read the code and it had two.

1. Misfire Cylinder #5
2. Bad O2 sensor-STUCK RICH

Ok, so I buy one new 02 sensor and interchange each one through process of elimination as it didnt say which one, each time I start the truck it would do the same thing. Great, so its not the 02 sensor.

Now Im driving back to discount and man its sputtering, barely running, no power and I see white smoke pour out the exhuast as I blip the throttle...GREAT!

So, Im thinking its either...Bad Fuel Pressure Regulator, bad injector, or bad head gasket...

Has this happened to any of you? I cant drive it anymore and Ill have to have it towed to a shop....

Truck is a 2005 F150 FX4 5.4L with 72K....

 

Sounds likethe injectors sticking, stop driving it, tow it to thedealer and havethem fix it under the extended injector warranty

 

Fuel injector sticking Take it to your dealer its under warranty

 

Its being towed in the morning, god I hope youre right. I hope to god its not the head gasket!

And, no I had my ford buddy run my VIN, its not under warrenty. Unless you know of a special recall?

 

If you are the original owner of the truck you should have got a letter from ford Iam sure some one will explain more since i own a 2004 Good Luck

 

Just got off the phone with my friend, when he ran my VIN he said it came up with a note on extended warrenty on the fuel injectors. NICE!

Man I hope thats it!

He said, if i bend a rod, they have to replace it since the faulty fuel inj would have caused the hydrolock.

 

If the motor is locked up from an injector You might get a new motor Like i said i have a 2004 I have seen a few members on the boards that had there motors replaced

 

Well, injector#5 was stuck wide open.

New injector, plugs, dist cap, change tranny oil, brake fluids, transfer case, oil. $650. I needed to do the maintence anyway. Had other plans for the money...o well.

 

Distributor cap??????? F-150's haven't had distributors since the mid 90's........

I hope the injector was taken care of with the warranty - and any other damage that it caused!

 

lol, no distributor cap. I meant the fuel injectors. Typed to fast.

The BS is that they didnt change the plugs under the warrenty of the fuel inj....Im pissed. That and this truck has been at the shop more than any other vehicle Ive owned and ive owned 7 different cars. This is my LAST Ford....
