Hey guys, need some advice.

My 96 F350 has 155,000 miles and has never had a nut turned on it. Hasn't been driven 300 miles in the last 4 months (fuel prices). This morning it fired right up, I drove about 2 miles when the Check Engine light came on and it started running rough. I got on the highway, light went out and seemed OK. About 5 miles down the road, I went to turn when the light came back on and it really started running rough. Nearly died. I turned around and headed back home. Light stayed on the entire time, it shifted bad, I guess from the rough idle. Acts as though it's starving for fuel.

Fuel Pump maybe?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You might want to scan for codes. It could take a lot of guess out of finding the problem.

 

My did the same thing. Burnt wiring under the valve cove gasket. Check my blog for photo's.

Bad fuel??
Check your fuel filter, tell us what you find.

 

Just received a call from the mechanic. Says fuel to #5 cylinder at high demand is the problem. He's hoping when he removes the valve cover he'll find a burnt wire. If not this, he will investigate further.

Turns out it was the wiring harness inside the valve cover.
