Damn V-10's
Well I have a 2000 Ford excursion with the 6.8L in it, only 148,000 miles on it, and I'm having a bit of a problem: she's misfiring. Bad. It started at around 147,250, and it's been going on ever since. She had the platinums in for the spark plugs, and I've replaced both the fuel and air filter, and 8/10 spark plugs (it was late and I didn't wanna work on 4&5 any longer), but I've taken it to multiple auto shops and had them plug the computer in, no readings, codes, nothing. Besides those last 2 spark plugs, is there anything else that could cause the misfire? It's not like she has a lot of miles on it, from what I've read the V-10's have one of the rest lifespans besides diesels, even if their MPG is pathetic.

I've already replaced the coils and boots, plugs, and harnesses. I'll check out the Mass Air Flow Sensor like keving said, then if she's still sputtering I'll look into the injectors, rocker arms, etc. Thanks everyone, hopefully I'll get her back up to full steam soon.
