Try cleaning your Mass Air Flow senser with cleaner from part store make sure it's for that senser n clean up throttle body real good with cleaner too. Also change out your PVC valve. I also had cooling fans not coming on as needed replaced couple relays n all is good now. Also check temperature control senser. Had same problems. Truck runs so much better now.

Internal lubrication

Ford F-150 2007  2000000 miles
I have a Ford fx4, 5.4L motor, 2007 and it is having some failure in the cylinder head where the crankshaft is located. The problem is caused by a lack of lubrication and it makes a worrying noise. How can avoid this from happening?

Buddy you should have an engine wash, then add its 5w-20 semi-synthetic oil and the problem should be solved.

Crank but no start. No spark to any coils

Ford F-150 2007 5.4 triton 3 valve 168000 miles
Hello I have a 07 f150 that died out at the light and would not restart. Replaced battery which was 9 years old and done for. I have checked fuel which I’m getting it is reading at range on scanner. Crankshaft, cam sensors are good. Ignition module is good, I checked fuses believe all the ones I needed. Swapped pcm fuse with another. I I have no spark to any cylinder. Starting fluid did nothing as well. Will crank but not start.

Won't start

Ford F-150 2001 4.6 336000 miles
Ok my dad was driving and he said everything just shut off on him. I changed out the alternator, battery, starter, starter relay, and PCM relay. Fuel pump I can hear, I can turn the crankshaft by hand. I checked all fuses and other relays some fuses ain't getting any power to it. Could it be the PCM? I don't wanna change that out a second opinion. Someone anyone please help.

Runs like poo one minute then ok the next

Ford F-150 2008 Fx4 v8 0 miles
Ok so ill be driving amd everything will be ok untill i slow down to a stop then it idles very low so low it stalls it doesn't do it all the time but mostly when i put it in reverse... the only reason i think it does it in reverse more is because it has the most torque so you dont have to use as much of the gas pedal to get it going which results in the low idle stalling... i replaced the crankshaft position sensor and cleaned the maf sensor... any info would help please and thank you
