COP Problems....Maybe???

I run a 2001 F150 5.4L. I am having some problems and I need help. When I am driving my truck and RPMs are around 1000 – 1200 I get a miss under light acceleration. There is no check engine lights on but I think it’s a COP. I hope its not the trans. Any ideas?

Probably is, the light should come on rather soon though if a COP is getting weak.

Welcome to the forum Mike

How many miles on the spark plugs?
Does the check engine light come on for a few seconds when you first start the truck?

I got the truck 3 years ago and I have not changed the plugs. The truck has 120000 on it now. As far as the light never comes on. You think it could just be the plugs?

The check engine light should self-test when you turn the ignition on. If it doesn't, due to a burned out bulb or whatever, then you'd never know if there was a problem that should have turned it on.
Since you're not sure how old the plugs are that's where I would start.
Has the fuel filter been changed?
