Need Help from the Gurus!!!

My truck is having a failure and three codes were displayed. P0354, U2904, P1922 (F150, 1999, 5.4L)
Everything happens this way:
I started the truck and ride about 2 miles, I notice and intermitent failure while riding (like plugs) and at the same time the air conditioner stopped cooling the air. The Check Engine ligth turned on. I checked the codes with the scanner having three codes. the ones I listed above. I also check the parameters id. (PID) and PID03 = 0800 LOOP OPEN, What that's means?
What I need to verify first?
Need Help from the Gurus at this forum.

Thanks.
Ben

P0354 = Ignition coil 4 primary circuit fault
U2904 is not listed in my manual
P1922 is not listed either.

I would check the spark plug and wire first. Mine is a V-6 so I'm not familiar with the individual coil packs on your 5.4. Other here certainly are.

failure

What the "P0354 = Ignition coil 4 primary circuit fault" means.
The coil #4 is bad?
What can this be related with the air conditioner?
Maybe when the computer see this failure, it disconnect the air compressor/ but I'm not sure of this...

Thanks, for your response.

Swap coil 4 with one from a known good cylinder and see if your DTC changes to eliminate the coil.

Caribe,

PO354 is Coil 4 circuit problem(passenger side nearest the firewall). Do as Quintin suggests. Swap it with another. If the code changes to the "new" location you know the coil is bad.

The other codes are not listed in my book....Wild guess? Tranny problem (cooling blockage?). Take it to Transmission shop. Have them scan the codes and diagnose the problem.

Good Luck,

Bill

U is a network communications code, disregard that one for right now until you get your misfire fixed. Same goes with P1922.

missfire

I started locating the solenoid #4, As soon I grab the solenoid connector I noticed it was not making good contact. The connector was loose. I push it until it locked to the terminal. I started the engine, clear the codes and the problem dissapear !!!

As I said before, Thanks to all the GURUS in the Forum , I keep my money in my pocket

Time to celebrate

pd. the air conditioner is working properly now. It seems that as soon the computer detects a failure, knowing that the engine is lack of power, the computer send a signal, disconnecting the air conditioner compressor,, that's what I guess.
