Tranny acting Strange
Went for a drive today in my Wifes 2003 F-250 5.4 automatic, Parked it and went for a hike,came back , started the truck ,put the it in reverse and it was running real rough.Put it in Drive and still running rough,figured i would put the truck in low and see what happens.It ran fine
.Got home and did a visual inspection on the tranny,didnt see anything that jumped out at me.Fluid was fine.Any ideas of what this might be?
Thanks For any advise on This Issue!!

CEL is a check engine light, do you have one showing or is the light flashing on the end of the shift handle?

I would have it scanned for pending codes, Did it drive fine the rest of the way and is it doing it now?

Bad coil pack, dirty throttle body plate or mass air sensor, or it could be the idle air control valve. All are fixed with a simple can of intake cleaner but the mass air needs mass air cleaner ONLY

]Experience has shown, the ford Motorcraft coils will be a better replacement.
I have several of these modular ford engines, and have repaired hundreds with this same problem.
I have seen the high end coils from almost every manufacture , fail in short order.
The Motorcraft coils do fail, but not with the frequency of others.
Let me add, purchase of a code scanner for the OBD2 is a life saver, as it gives you the ability to trouble shoot a problem , even if you don't have the ability to do the repair yourself.
This will ultimately save you money if you need to take it to a shop for the repairs.

Glad you got it figured out, and a word of advice, if it were me I would just replace the coil pack on the number 2 cylinder and call it good. If they are motorcraft packs there is no reason to replace them as it is just a waste of money. The other packs could go another 100,000 miles without issue. Like ARC said get yourself a scanner that can read codes and pending codes and next time you can check it yourself..
