Last week my F150 started to experience some issues. Started missing & check engine light came on. I got it to a shop ASAP. The mechanic said #7 & #8 were missing badly. He suggested replacing All the Plugs and boots & checks the coils, 7 & 8 plug was fouled. The mechanic said he suspected that a Fuel Injector issue was starting to develop. He suggested that I run some cleaner, I did that. The fuel injector did go bad and by the time I got back to the dealer, I am told that #7 cylinder was vapor locked with a bent rod! Now I am told that they must replace the motor at a cost of $8K!
