Yea it could have been worse. I did learn a lot more about my truck and that’s always good. I am not planning on getting rid of it any time soon. Ill drive it till the wheels fall off. The only thing that really bothers me is I couldn’t figure out what was wrong and fix it myself. I am the type of person that the only one I want to work on my vehicles is me and I don’t like it when I can’t. Thanks for the follow up.

Well that happens sometimes and it's probably best to let somebody with experience do the work. I wouldn't use that term, "Till the wheels fall off." I used to till it happened in Nebraska a couple of years ago.

Mine 99 250 is in the shop for this very thing today. The answer is: #7 Injector. Same problem. Runs rough and service engine soon light on . Check codes and there are none.

The Ford dealer put a computer on it and it had stored the #7 injector code. Tech says it's probably a short in the harness in that area and wants to charge $300 to remove the valve cover and repair.

Take it to your dealer and have them read the computer code NOT using the an OBDII device from Autozone.

Good luck,
Ronnie
