alright, well last week the truck developed misfire at idle, ran rough..really fell on its face in OD. took it to shop, on the tester it had code PO355. So this past week i changed plugs(stayed with same plug as factory) and new Accel coils. got everything back together tonight(after 6 of 8 plugs broke off) and went for a drive.. still the same thing. Plan to take it to shop again tomorrow because light came back on. But what could this be? any ideas?

 

injector, wiring issue or internal engine problem-bad valve snaped ring.
Accel coils really aren't that great you should have got the cheap e-bay ones. Swap the injector if that dont fix it then do a compression test.

 

yea, after i already had the accel's ordered, i then read that the ones from global are way cheaper and just as good, live and learn i guess..im gonna see if the codes the same cylinder tomorrow, then i will probably swap injector around and see if it moves..i really hope its not internal.

 

I have the same problem with 2006 5.4L I have replaced the coil, injector and spark plugs. But the miss keeps coming back. I'm thinking its in the wiring.

What cylinder is your miss?

 

mine was on number 5, i should be able to find out tomorrow which its on this time..

 

well, the drivers side front injector is dead. you guys got any recommendations on where to pick up an injector from? just to clarify its a 04 5.4

 

I have about 16 spare ones in my garage. i'd give you one but your half way on the other side of the country. Junk yard?

 

yea, i spose junk yard isnt completely outta the question.. i was hopin thered be somewhere i could just buy one online. im from small towns area so junk yards might not have too much stock of 04+ 5.4 150s..plus its like 0degrees out right now lol..and supposed to snow again in the next day. i looked on ebay and they have some but should i trust them? any site that sells new injectors individually?

 

Rock Auto has them Remaned ones and they have a close out sale it looks like if you hurry you coulld get the one they have left for 35.79

Oh yeah I bought a set of remaned injectors on E-bay and they have been great. whole set for less then $150 or so (cant remember) if you can live without it you could go that way probably take a couple weeks for them to show up. rock auto will ship monday so you could have a single injector in a few days.

 

yea i cant keep goin with no vehicle, ive been lucky enough to have access to a parents vehicle..but its goin to the body shop this week to get repaired from an accident..so im gonna need to get my truck back up as quick as possible to get to work/school..thanks for the sites tho

 

www.carpartswholesale.com has them for $40.00 each ( reman with warranty) I've had good luck with their service. Good luck.

 

hey Jethat..just curious..that one on Rockauto that has one left..the picture it has with it looks nothing like the injector on my truck. mine looks like the middle one they list. is that just the wrong picture they have up for the top one with one left?

 

Hard to say. could be a generic picture but I think I'd call them and ask before i ordered it..

 

I just recently replaced the injectors in my 97 4.6 with cheap ebay remanufactured set. It did improve the idle quality and seems to be about 1 mpg better than it was before the swap. I only paid about $110 shipped for 8 injectors that are the better 4-hole style Bosch injectors. My old injectors did look pretty rough with 138K.
