Cool 03 Triton Problems

My Sisters truck stopped running yesterday, I'm out of State and need to help her Diagnose it. Here the deal.

2003 4.6L Triton V8 209K miles

She was comng home from work and started feeling serious vebrations and serious loss of power. The ford shop she took it to said buy new motor $8000 NOT so from what my brother in law describes it has no power and a bad Knocking sound. Too me this sounds like an ignition system failure. What do you guys think?

What ever the case that Ford dealer should NEVER be gone to again, even a new engine wouldn't cost any where near $8K. Really there need to be some codes pulled, the vibration stuff could be a bad COP but the knocking doesn't sound good at all.
