My trucks is sparadically reving up when it wants to, is yours?

They asked Ford to allow them to change all injectors since in a month I had two injectors failed, Ford said NO they will only authorize replacement as they fail. I guess I still have 6 more problems ahead of me or just maybe a trade.

Ford HQ has stayed steadfast on this one!
It is a bummer but they will not move on it.

The last trip this past week was for the 2nd rear main seal leak, and i ask them to check the reving up thing. When I went to pick up the truck, the service guy told me that Ford is saying that this REVING UP is "NORMAL". I told him i didn't see how a safety issue could be normal. I am currently filling for the DSB. Just wanted to add my 2 cents, and let you know i am experiencing the same thing.
My trucks is sparadically reving up when it wants to, is yours?

Ford will not authorize any repair until they can get it into the shop and do tests on it while it is doing the reving up thing. So now what do I do? What is the chances of it acting up like that and getting into their repair bay while it is doing it. When it is doing it , it is really too dangerous to drive, So I have a truck parked out in my garage that I was planning on taking for long trips and getting a 5th wheel etc. and I can't even use it. Continue to let me know your progress or any other info you might come across. This is very frustrating, I thought this just happened to other people.
Thanx. for the reply, S.Duper

juang,
Good idea!!!
SD,
As for you, i would check into the lemon law. L apolgize for mentioning this because this is all i have talked about for the last 2 months. But its frustating when you pay this much money for these trucks and sometime they are just problem plagued.
I thank everyone on this forum for being so understanding!!!!
Hang in there and stay tuned for post on my DSB. I will let ya'll know how it goes.

I do not know if I would ever trust this truck on a long trip.
Make sure that is in all your documentation.

Does anyone has any idea what they could have done, the truck has definetly not been fixed and the rough idle is still there it just happens mostly on heavy, stop and go traffic.

Just a possibility, they did this to my 04/04.
"Then they discovered a bad #1 injector. After replacing it, they still got a secondary fuel system code. Did some other testing, eliminating some potentials. Then performed a fuel pressure test. It first had good pressure, but then it bleeded off. So they replaced the "fuel conditioning module". All fault codes then gone."
Just a thought.

I had the rough idle for a while, but Oct flash cured. Just recently I've started getting a "high idle" at each cold start (not that cold... 60-70 degree weather). Engine immediately goes to 1100 RPMS. Then alternates between 1100 and 1200 RPMS for 5-7 minutes. Dealer says it's normal but I'm not convinced. Mostly due to the recent start of the symptom. Seems kinda dumb that the PCM would take a cold engine to 1100 RPMS before oil pressure was up... Anybody have any thoughts?
