Unhappy Engine Knock and Stutter

I have a 2000 F150 with a 4.2l v6, Standard w/116k miles. My engine jumps or stutters at high speed. It kind feels like its missing. I first noticed the problem going up a small hill on the interstate, I was going About 60. The problem got worse and it started dying when i slowed to turn or stop. It threw code stating the system was too rich on both banks, I have replaced the plugs, fuel filter, cleaned the MAF and replaced all four O2 sensors, It no long dies when i go to turn or stop, but it still stutters and jumps and the engine knock has increased. And is still throwing the codes stating too rich on both banks. PO 172 and PO 175. Any ideas on where to look next would be appreciated.

Temp sensor? Could be bad and it's reading very cold while trying to richen the fuel to warm the engine up..... Do a fuel pressure test to see if you have a stuck injector? Leave it for a bit and see if the pressure drops at all. Possibly stuck EGR?

I agree with maybe temp sensor or EGR, but if he had an injector problem wouldn't it just throw the code for one bank?

hi, spark plug wires are known to be the cause in a lot of cases, these engines are fussy about which wires to use. try a search on the 4,2 forum. good luck bokker.
