I bet you $20 the coil doesn't fix your problem.

Mine is an 05 too and i know my injectors can leak every once in a while, due to the fuel smell. Already tried to have the dealer take care of it but they acted like the injectors were fine.

Is there anything i can do?

Yes. Wait for it to fail, or have new injectors installed so it won't fail. Ticking time bomb.

2005 5.4 3V, runs rough, smell gas, I'd feel pretty good saying you've got an injector hanging up.

Did you have the injectors replaced ? Their warrantied for 100,000 miles I believe. For the 05's only.

Yea, I'm not sure how they work that. I would call and inquire for sure. Tell them you know of the warranty and the 05 injector TSB (problems). A good dealership will phone you first if there's another issue.

Stealth might know. ?
