2001 Ford Expedition 5.4 misfiring/losing power/n more
I just bought this truck yesterday here is what it is doing.
01 Expedition 5.4 110k miles
no CEL on.
if I keep a very steady light foot on the pedal on flat road I can maintain speed but if I try to accelerate normally (w/out babying it) it will misfire/shutter
If I step on it while drive it will act like the truck shut off and slow down, sometimes I see the rpm's jump up a bit while stepping on it but runs like crap and shutters.
So today I took out 2 spark plus and cop's and the 1st cop is brand new(passenger side closest to front end) the coil looked good but someone put in a Bosch platinum and didnt look to good, then I took out the one right next to it (2nd one back passenger side) and the boot had rust on it and so did the plug but it was a motorcraft.
I changed both plugs in the process with motorcraft and changed the one rusted boot.
I also cleaned the MAF but after doing those things didnt make much of a difference.
Also it doesnt seem to make a difference if its cold or warmed up.
I'm hoping the one cop boot/plug I saw that had rust on it was not cause an intake leak/crack and hopefully from someone just washing down the truck.
I know I should probably change all cop's and I will when I get some extra money.
but based on the symptoms of how it drives, flooring it>>losing total power would ring a bell to someone.
thanks
