2001 5.4l cracked valve covers
Have a friend that was told cracked valve covers were causing ruff running and misfires. He replaced coil packs that code showed were bad and still has same problem. Mechanic told him cracked valve covers were causing the problem. Mechanic sprayed starting fluid around area and engine smothed out. I told him it sould like a vacuum leak. Anybody heard of this? Thanks for a reply.

Unlikely that the cam covers are cracked unless you were in an accident. It would take a lot before they crack. Could be a bad intake manifold gasket that allows starter fluid to enter the engine. Has anyone inspected or changed the sparkplugs, the PCV valve, or a possible broken vac line as well.

Yea. cracked valve covers eh? First I have heard of that. Like glc said, unless it was in an accident, they are not going to crack. Did they find cracks? or just throwing that out there to ****** up $500 dollars worth of repairs which is probably just a pcv line with a crack in it and a $30 dollar fix.
