any codes?
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...procedure.html

if it has spark, cam chain is probably good. will make a hell of a racket if cam chain jumps sprocket teeth or breaks

can you smell raw gas fumes at exhaust pipe, if not, probably not getting gas out the injectors

holding gas pedal to the floor cuts off any gas injection by the injectors.

nice bright blue spark or weaky yellow?

plugged fuel filter?

fuel rail pressure? failed fuel pressure regulator?

No racket, fuel filter is not clogged, and there is a nice blue spark. Also, the check engine light is acting normal. When I turn the ignition on, the light comes on for a few seconds and goes off. Don't know if that helps...
