V10 power loss
I have a '99 E350 V10 Super Duty Ext Club Wagon with 140K. It's been sitting for a few months and now barely runs. Ran fine before. Before I parked it the van would misfire badly in wet weather. I have replaced several coils over time. I must admit I have never changed the plugs. I have checked all the electrical connectors I could find. It doesn't show any codes.
It starts and idles just fine. Driving down the road and several things happen.
First it feels like a bad coil (I have experiance with this), then it seems like the trans holds 1st and 2nd gear a very long time. Then the engine starts kicking and bucking badly. When I come to a stop the truck idles fine.
I ran the truck with a scanner hooked up; no codes but I noticed when the engine started missing the timing when nuts. Under throttle the timing severely retarded, lift off and the timing was normal. I don't know if the timing is reacting to another problem or the timing is the problem.
Where is the timing sensor? Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
