V10 does what?
2000 cube van was running terrible at idle. Changed spark plugs and found 3different types of plugs but truck used to run fine? Bought a code reader and there was no power to the OBD plug, found gps was powered by fuse plug and the fuse was burned so I disconnected gps (cause I have a map anyway) and replaced fuse then I got a 0 reading on code reader???

Its pretty much a given on these forums that the V10's are real choosey about spark plugs and require MotorCraft. Seems like that's the place to start as far as the rough idle. If that doesn't help I'm sure you'll progress to COP's.

And yes the cigarette light and OBDII are run of the same fuse, at least on my truck. That is stupid IMO but thats the way Ford did it.
Sometimes nothing beats a lot of experience OR good fuse panel map! <!-- / message -->

I brought in a mechanic to my shop on a horse trade for a 7.3 with service body. He had me replace some parts which ford parts store was happy to supply for a nominal fee. None of these parts made any change at all.
Then while looking around under the hood in a circumstantial rage my finger found a soft spot in the PVC line deep under the throttle body so I started the engine and then placed my finger on soft spot, runs like a top.
