Had a similar problem recently, only thing is mine was harder to start, and stumbled on the way home from work shutting off two times. First thing I checked was the fuel filter, and what came out looked like pepsi. I changed the filter and it fired right up, ran better but bogged down when going into boost.

Took the L into Ford, I did not tell them about what came out of the filter, I wanted them to diagnose it themselves and they said it needed a new fuel pump but I kinda knew something else was up, anyways they installed the new pump under warranty and got a call saying that the pump wasn't the problem, they had found sludge in the gas tank so they had to remove, clean and flush the entire fuel line and install a new fuel filter. I ended up paying the labor fees only. Truck runs great now.

Sorry for the long story but it might be what's happning with yours, looks like I sucked up the dredges from the bottom of a tank in the gas station.


Good luck in finding your problem....Bert.

 

Checked a few things this morning. No vacum leaks. No fuel pressure problem (spot-on). Found the culprit though.......

I let it idle for a minute...and "tapped" the IAC. As soon as I tapped it...it started running fine. Went to NAPA...bought a new one....popped it on...and.....

Was a bit confused as I have cleaned this thing a few times prior. So I called and talked to a Ford tech and they said that the can fail at times. Hmmmm Learn something new everyday.

 

 

Glad you figured out that one Chad.

 

Me too...was getting worried. Figured the bank got pissed since I just paid it off and put sugar in my gas or something

My hood FINALLY goes on tomorrow. I will post pics of it
