exhaust flame
I was driving my 05 5.4l screw home from the gym tonight when i heard a pop sound then my check engine light flashed. When i pulled over i noticed an 8 inch flame coming from my exhaust cutout so i shut it off. Now it wont start and im on the side of the road in the cold. Any ideas? Im thinkiing clogged cat? Truck has 82k miles.

After reading the sticking injector thread, I now see that I probably should have just posted there but it was late and I was looking for help on the side of the road. Plus I haven't been on here for a while. Looks like I will probably have a lot of trouble getting this fixed and will probably spend the next few weeks fighting with my dealer. I hope the damage is not that bad, but based on the size of the flames coming from my exhaust I would say that something is probably messed up along with the injector. What really sux is that we don't have a fix for the problem and just have to put in more of the same injectors.

So the dealer called me yesterday and said that my #3 injector was stuck completely open. They replaced the faulty injector then replaced the o-rings on the 7 other injectors. They changed the oil and filter and said they drove the truck and it was running fine with no more DTCs. I drove the truck to work this morning and it started to shutter really bad around 55mph. It also hesitates now at WOT. It did not throw a CEL but I can tell its not right. I called them this morning and they said it is possilbe that an ignition coil is bad too. It surprises me that they did not have to change the spark plug in the #3 cylinder due to the fact it filled with fuel. I didn't have to pay for anything yesterday, but I am sure they will try to charge me for anything else that they do.
