major problems
I would appreciate any helpful info on this matter!
I own A 93 f-150 5.0 automatic 2wd 85.000
I owned the truck for three years and it always ran great. Very religous about maintanance. Went on vacation for 7 days, went to start her up and it got stuck as if the starter jambed, hit the ignition several times to see if it would turn itself over and when it did it sounded like the end of the world!! Very loud knocking and shaking it didn't want to run! It has oil- no leaks this truck ran like a champ untill now- never any noises or any hints of any problems
Plaese help

hello flareside,
Does not sound very good by your description. Have a look at each spark plug if you can and check if one of them has not come apart. I have seen this happen on several occasions and it will sound like hell. If the plugs are ok and it sounds like its coming from the engine you might want to disconnect one plug wire at a time to determine which cylinder is affected. This will verify that it is definately internal. Let us know and I hope I helped some.
