X with multiple short circuits codes, Please help me!!!

Hi guys, My baby is trippin. 4 months ago I replaced the coils due to a sputtering problem.. I did a complete tunup including new sparks, coils, manifold, (it was cracked and leaking water in the holes..) Plus it had broken valve cover seals so changed those too. The sputtering from before was more when I was driving, It would sputter at about 55 to 60.. Tipical coils issues right? well I took care of that..

Last week My wife took it out for some groceries and parked it. I had to run some errens my self so I went to my truck, turned the key and noticed a bit of chacking. Didnt think much of it so I thru it in park and the truck sputtered tremendously and almost died. I hit the gas and it moved about 1 foot under heavy stress.. Thinking since i boght those coils cheap on ebay, it might of bee the issue I went ahead and spent a little more and good some heavy duty once again on ebay. After about 1 hour of replacing the old once which were still really clean, I turned the engine over and still. I checked the oil and it was dry but since I has it parked on the driveway at and angle i parked it leveled, rechecked it and it was still dry. I put 5 quarts of oil in and still.... I been checking it periodecaly and have no leaks 3 hours later.

The sounds are like an old clucker and lots of sputtering on revs. the motor runs but when on drive it feels like it's gonna die out and doesnt move. This truck was running perfect, and i mean perfect before the wife took it. No shaking, no sputtering no squicking, nothing!!! This happened within minutes. If i dont get this problem resolved soon I might lose my job.. and what ever chips fall after that.

Im loosing my head and my wife is getting on my nerves so please help me before i light a match to it.

Again, it has new plugs, now coils, new manifold, new oil, new oil filter, new gas filter, new, starter, new belt, new almost everything exept the battery..
I have been getting the battery light a few times..

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

You might try a double post over in the Modular V8 (4.6L, 5.4L) - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums to see if you can get some feedback. Some thoughts: No codes? Fuel pressure? Bad fuel?

Try cleaning your IAC valve.

What the hell is chacking?

Threw it in PARK!? Did you start it in neutral?

While I don't believe the issue to be COP related, you did learn a lesson about buying cheap *** Chinese knock stuff. OEM works best. Period. Here's the only thing from China that you should put in your truck.


Ask your wife FIRST though.

I checked the oil and it was dry but since I has it parked on the driveway at and angle i parked it leveled, rechecked it and it was still dry. I put 5 quarts of oil in and still.... I been checking it periodecaly and have no leaks 3 hours later.

I think you have an oil starvation issue.

truck was running perfect, and i mean perfect before the wife took it. No shaking, no sputtering no squicking, nothing!!! This happened within minutes.
While it doesn't take long for it to present itself. It obviously didn't happen right away.

Can you make a video of it running or attempting to run?

The battery light is your charging system. Go have your alternator checked out.

Yes carb cleaner will work fine. If it still seems sticky, they're only about $60 new.

From the sounds of it, I HIGHLY doubt it is as simple as the IAC. A bad IAC will not make the engine miss like it is.

You need to go through all your plugs and coils...again. Sorry! You need to check and double check everything. Pay close attention to the sparkplug torque.

Check and recheck all your vacuum lines.

If it still runs crappy, you need to do a compression check. Actually maybe you can do that while you check each plug...

The engine is clearly not firing on all cylinders. That hissing you hear it a dead cylinder pushing air out.
