Misfire

[@geraldcadyii5772]

On my 2011 F150 Ecoboost, in addition - Sync system not responding (replaced), seized vacuum pump (replaced), shattered rear window after defrost activated (replaced window assembly), rusted out front brakes/rotors (replaced), engine start up rattle at 35k miles (vehicle traded out at 40k, someone else's problem now). There were some other problems that I'll skip...................

[@bgeelow8560]

No mention about the intermediate driving shaft, the rear wheel wells rusting out in no time, and look out for bed light gasket rots quick and water leaks in thru it and rots your roof liner before you know it’s happening. I’m on my last Ford truck never again!

[@danvargautah]

Engine Misfire - Intercooler has oil/water pooled in bottom. Hole can be drilled to drain and fix misfire problem.

[@squangan]

I’m the original owner of a 2009 5.4 S/crew FX4 Luxury Package, besides regular maintenance items like belts, brakes, plugs, etc.this is what I’ve had to repair in 13 years now: Passenger side A pillar water leak through the satellite radio antenna when fairly new, then the A/C compressor clutch went out while still under warranty. Had a nice stretch of zero problems for a few years then I had to replace the passenger side exhaust manifold in 2018, 3rd brake light leaked and replaced in 2019, heater fan blower motor resistor in 2021 (would only run on hi speed) and then the heater fan motor itself in 2022. With meticulous engine oil changes the 5.4 still runs quietly so far…Overall I’m pretty pleased with it after 13 years of use considering the questionable reputation of the 5.4 as I haven’t even had the check engine light come on once in all this time.

[@angrysheepdog9744]

I have a 2010 FX4 5.4L with 180k.The only problems I've had to fix: 1. replace broken sunroof mechanisms (requires removing the entire headliner) 2. replace water pump and pulleys 3. lift motor to replace exhaust manifolds and extract 6 broken bolts 4. replace cam phasers, timing chains and roller rockers due to $20 broken plastic chain guides (upgraded to cast iron chain tensioners and hi-po oil pump) 5. replace ECM that was coding 6. replace rear taillights due to moisture problems 7. replace AC compressor 8. rebuild blower motor 9. replace console cover due to broken helper spring (wtf) 10. transfer case rebuild Mods: 1. Bilstein performance shocks with 2 inch lift 2. K&N air filter 3. Borla touring exhaust 4. Cross drilled and slotted rotors 5. Tibren load springs 8 grand later...runs like a champ and sounds incredible. Fortunately I can wrench or it would have cost me double. I bought it for 24 grand with 36k miles.

[@farmerjon360]

Here's a really neat trick I learned years ago; if you suspect a engine misfire, take a good thick piece of paper and hold it flat up against the tailpipe. If you can see and hear a "put put put" sound then chances are you have a bad spark plug or fuel injector.

[@1AAuto]

+Jonathon Haug Thanks for the tip!

[@notbho]

actually learned this in school. it’s literally called the paper test. you have that back pressure, look into an ignition miss

[@pnuema1.618]

Or mkre simply you just look for a p03xx code.

[@JohnWilliams-pn7ft]

The bottom line is computers can make a minor issue one that will ruin your vehicle. I miss the days when there were no computers on trucks and you could work on everything with tools instead of computers

[@19RORABOUGH90]

Also, fuse #27 burns out often, not letting your truck start up if it’s been running for a while. Fuse is prone to BURNING out due to the bad placement of the fuse box. Easy fix to replace the fuse to get home but a fuse box relocation kit is the ticket.

[@gilsonEUA]

Happened to me a few months ago

[@pureblood8692]

We just checked it and that wasnt it, took it to the dealer ship and nothing

[@dahweez2902]

Eventually that fuse is going to melt and short again. Ford has a tech bulletin on this and O’Reillys and some of the auto parts stores sell a kit that you can purchase and easily upgrade your fuse box with the new fuse. The old one was not enough for the current. The TSB has you moving the location of the fuse. Don’t make the mistake of taking your truck to the Ford dealer they’ll charge $1800 and tell you that it was your fuel pump.

[@bvb9858]

You forgot to mention if your truck cranks but wont start to check fuse #27, blown fuse or burned connections.

Holy shit dude, I’m so happy I found your video. I looked where the fuel canister box is at I see a plug on the end and one of the wires is cut. Gonna rig up some southern ingenuity on this wire and see if this is my problem. Keep doing what you’re doing bud you may have saved me from a rabbit chase.

[@AlexLopez-vx3cr]

I would add coolant reservoir leak, and timing chain tensioner too. Fuel door coming loose. Might be a few more im forgetting at the moment. I put a Pioneer headunit on my 2012 XLT 3 years back. No issues ever.

[@d_manoil1647]

This is my favorite verhicle problem guy to watch.

[@Speedbagthrasher]

The phasers on the cam tensioners, that’s a 5k repair, turbos leak radiator fluid, and my favorite, AC blend doors are total trash. Spent $1200 to have all for of them replaced with OEM parts and not even 6 months later, you guessed it, driver side and passenger side blend door no longer work. I will never own another for after having this FX4.

[@tcgear]

Only problems I have had with my 2012 Ecoboost are coolant line leaks ( both roughly around 125-135k miles where they connect to the overflow tank as well as the turbos), and misfires from worn plugs( between 80-100k each time) Currently A 189k and still running good. Tow a sxs up the mountain quite a bit and am on the throttle all the time too. Great truck.

[@chasen7825]

My coolant exploded on me like a week ago and had transmission sensor problems and bad oil pump and new steering rack

For my 2013 5.0 ford

[@ericlorance2089]

I have a 2013 5.0. Just search Y connecter coolant hose and O rings! Ford could not fix it in three attempts. I did it myself off a KZbin video and ordered the parts off Amazon. Hasn’t leaked since😎

[@BobBob-kw2xq]

hey i have a 2012 ecoboost 3.5, i got last summer, and my front right brake was dragging when i got it. i replaced caliber and rotary but later that day it started dragging again. i changed severai times trying to find problems as i went because the diagnostic machines said nothing was wrong at dealerships (went to 3 in 3 different states while working). after several miserable weeks of this i was finnaly told by a guy on the streets that it was the soft rubber hose going from brake line to brake caliber. i replaced both for around $40 and solved the problem. now its working fine and pulls like a ox.

[@CJColvin]

I have a 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 in it and with 135,000 miles on it and still going strong and it's a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK Catback exhaust.

@@1AAuto You're welcome brother.

[@racekar80]

Unfortunately these vehicles need good routine maintenance, mine had over 150,000 miles with only the IMS issue. Oil is the most important issue with the 5.4. Never use 5w-20, when the engine came out 5w-30 was recommended. They changed for gas mileage and it is too thin for the cam phasers when hot.

[@treehugger4916]

any problems?

[@jackofalltrades4844]

2011 with the 5.0 with 215,000 miles. I had the TCM computer board fail and do something similar to #1 and had #4 occur at 125,000 miles. The TCM cost me around $1200 and the charcoal canister issue was $350.00. The stereo went out which sucked so I put an after market in. Starter went out at 150,000 mikes, the truck starts up so fast those teeth get worn out. Those have been my major repairs since I’ve owned it. I’ve got a friend with the smaller 2009 4.7L v8 at 350,000 miles so I’m still optimistic to get some more good miles out of mine.

[@MotownVideo]

Best fix: use 1A Auto to get the parts to fix that Ford good enough to send it down the road and buy a Toyota! That worked good for me.

Bought a used 2013 F-150 FX4 with a 5.0L about a month ago. Everything went ok until I drove up hill and oil pressure light flashed then went back to normal again. I’ve already bought the oil pressure switch for it, but haven’t installed it yet. 100k coming up then I’ll work on all maintenance tune up. I just got to drive some more to check for some underlying issues. Thanks for the video ✌🏽

[@kennethwalton5465]

My 2013 f150 does the oil light thing... seems to happen when the rpm dips low at a stop ... also common when put into reverse... still not are of cause... changing oil pressure sensor dont fix problem

[@cappazone1807]

Lead frame recall on 2013 5.0 covered under 150k miles under warranty $1700 job if you miss the 150k mile cutoff. oil pressure sending unit or sensor faulty at 175k miles. I had the purge valve issue. Otherwise, that 5.0 coyote engine is a beast

[@greghoffman3146]

Do you have to have a problem with transmission to have lead frame replaced under warranty or is it covered regardless?

[@Bpitable]

Nailed it. Just replaced the oil pickup sensor at 182,000

[@pamcm1098]

Evap canister purge valve, O2 sensor have had to be changed on my 2010. Another common fault is the AC fan blower motor resistor behind the glove box. That's had to be replaced three times. Also watch out for the 4WD hubs trying to engage due to a lack of vacuum. That can be fixed by replacing the $14 blue check valve located against the firewall.

[@MrTaylorfenoglio]

Just fyi a couple things. I've had most of these issues and here were my fixes that differ from the video. 1 misfire. If your Ecoboost is running fine at idle and low speed but misfires when you step hard on the gas you have an issue with the intercooler building moisture and oil. It's an extremely easy fix and if you KZbin Ecoboost wheep whole you will see Many vids on this. You basically drill a very small hole in the bottom of the intercooler. After I did this it took 90 percent of the misfire away and after changing my plugs completely went away. (takes 10 minutes to do even for someone who doesn't know what there doing) 2. The touch screen not working. This is a problem with the ampid modular in the back of the head unit. They aren't cheap but easy to install a new one. Just make sure it's programmed to your truck. 3. Backup camera not working. Mine did crazy things like reversing the image to lines to a black screen. Usaly it would work when you first stay the truck then go haywire lol. Just replace the camera. Super easy but unfortunately on mine I had to replace the Ford logo as well.

[@boydmking1]

My 2000 f150 still runs great and drives very good. Sounds like it might be smart to just keep it for now . . .

[@hcardiel1]

if anyone having issues withe 4x4 make sure to check that the vacuum hub, most of these get dirt and or sand really easy and they will not open as the are suppose to. Transfer case is hard for it fail its more than likely tht is something as simple as the vacuum hub

Modern vehicles and their plethora of electronic sensors & gadgets are HELLA fun, don’t get me wrong, but… also just more stuff to go wrong and keep you coming back to the dealer / shop. Time, money, effort, focus lost. This is why I still drive my 2003 F150. 😁

[@mikebash3388]

2013 4x4 5.0 I bought it used 48K. I use motor craft oil and change every 9k. No motor issues. now @ 150k. Front breaks go bad every 20k no biggie. Shocks have been replaced 3 times getting ready to do them again. Now the bad radio went out at 90k aftermarket fix. Both front window motors went out within a month of each other. AC compressor stopped working around 95k. Blower motor went out around 115k. The y pipe for the coolant has been replaced twice. Put a leveling kit on the front and things got fun.bad bearing hub and Bad actuator, then bad CV shaft. Replaced both sides. 8k later new actuator again new CV shaft and new vacuum lines and vacuum solenoids. Now it’s all bad again. For some reason the vacuum isn’t fully disengaging causing the actuator to be destroyed. And the drivers side CV shaft seal keeps leaking and tearing up the boot. I do not off road or drive in 4x4 often I never switch going faster than 10mph. My leveling kit was switched from 2” spacers to ranchero plus 2” shocks after the first issues. Going back stock level now. Not sure the leveling is the issue now. But interior electronics are my biggest disappointments. I feel like if I never leveled the front I may not have had these issues. As far as the breaks go it’s always the drivers side. I’ve replaced the rotors 3 times and replaced the entire shoe it’s always got a dusty rim... also ball joints upper and lower have been replaced. Both upper and lower control arms. And tie rods.

[@smathet7766]

That sounds like aGM truck. I’m drive my truck off road all the time and never replaced any suspension or driveline parts. I have 150k on my truck.

[@BlastedKat]

2013 F 150 4x4 STX 5.0 with 3.73 gears. 225,000 miles and still going for now. Did replace transmission at 180,000 miles due to weekly towing of heavy boat. Normal maintenance other than that. I know the time is near for a new truck. New truck prices just blow me away. I wonder what a new 5.0 motor would cost? If it's even worth it?

[@elijahrobinson2362]

Larry Sigers, engine isn’t that costly when you think of a new truck. $7000-ish. Maybe get it rebuilt. My 2014 FX4 has 245,000 km and aside from oil/fuel/windshield/washer fluid/wiper blades/tires it’s all original. Never had any of these issues. It’s now getting everything flushed, new brakes and struts, new filters, hoses & spark plugs and I think I’m swapping gears from 3.73 to 3.31/3.08 since I do mainly highway driving at a set speed.

[@markk3652]

[@dustdevil9614]

That shimmy shake move for misfires is legendary bro 😂😂😊

[@bradnickel6685]

The biggest PITA for me has been the optional electric sliding rear window with the defrost. The defrost has went out on me three times now - two under warranty, this last time on my dime, which I'm not going to pay for yet. Sucks, because the circuit also includes the heated mirrors, so neither system works now. And Ford won't recall this!

[@chrissmith-oq5nq]

Such BS but it isn't a safety issue to be recalled.

[@virginiareeder9961]

Should be another category other than recall ... call it dealer eval... buyer status is a list... ultimately product improvement 👏 👌 💪 🙌 ✨

[@GrayThePickle]

Same here mine flickers on and off and never works correctly, I eventually gave up on it because I have a bed cap and the back cab window rarely gets enough ice on it to matter.

[@williamevans2176]

You can access the wiring for the rear window defrost behind the rear seat on passenger side and place jumper on it. Then your heated mirrors will work. Had same problem and since I never really needed the rear window defrost, this was the best option. Think there is a You tube video showing this.

[@CJColvin]

What engine did it had.

[@Sheeeeeeeeeeeeiiitt]

Upon repair of the O2 sensor did the ever explain the cause of failure? I believe mine comes and goes and that the issue is caused by sagging heat shield sitting on top of it due to ac drain dripping into/on it weighing it down. When my VCTs were repaired at 90.000 miles they said my 02 retarded and needed replaced but then said computer flashing fixed it. So i’m still chasing the ghost possibly electrical related due to water entry in 3rd brake light/XM satellite antenna leaking down to pcm/fuses etc. She’s payed for and still runs.

Its worth worth noting for any owner of this truck. This f150 ecoboost does not have a power steering reservoir for fluid The truck has an electronic rack and pinion, steering. If your truck need alignment guess what you'll need to replace the entire rack amd pinion. It'll cost you 2500 to 3500 from a dealership. This is a dealer part, repair shops will charge you way more. My stepfather has an 2014 f150 alt ecoboost 3.5 he had to get this replaced from a dealer.

David Banks I bought a 3.7 last year with 38,000-43,000 Miles. Can’t remember exactly how many miles. Im almost at 80,000 Miles. Drove a couple times to PA from NY and back, NY to NC and back and it came with a 100,000 mile warranty from Ford Dealer Pre-Owned.

[@joshs60]

How about the master cylinder recall?

[@RusselBrown-qj2tz]

This is why trucks don’t need automatics and the useless electronic devices. Get back to the basics. Trucks should be trucks not limousines. A standard transmission a a 6.2l engine that runs on mechanical input rather than a modular engine that has to have a bunch of useless electronics to run.

[@JohnsonT2724]

Don’t forget about timing chain chains in the eco boost or 5.4. Manifold leaks or crack even the v10 do it. Plus the cam phasers as well. Or if want to get to the diesel trucks like 6.4 are known to catch fire

+Travis Johnson Thanks for the feedback!

[@raftika1]

Do more. I’m planing on buying a 2011 Ford F-150 and the more information about those generations the better for use used car buyers. I need it for working in carpentry

[@1AAuto]

+Raftika We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@myfavorites1016]

All that fancy stuff , and when it goes to heck its a mint to fix it ,

[@shanewhite9446]

I think it's best to buy a base model truck so that way you can upgrade parts here & there the way you want it 👍🏼

[@tickytacky8078]

I bought a used xl with almost all features/upgrades/options available. 2014, and really only wearable repairs so far.

[@1AAuto]

+Ticky Tacky Thanks for the feedback!

[@kevincrocker8419]

We didn’t have a transmission problem until they did the update.

[@wileyt8423]

I agree with that statement.

[@mekphiri]

What about the IWE actuators on 4wd models?

[@kevinswanson6621]

I haven't had any problems from my 2014

[@damienlawson2557]

How many miles on it?

[@bobmartens1089]

2014 owner here 5.0. 108,000km. Tow a TT. Stab end links only last a few years, other than that just maintenance

[@NZIGNANTI]

@@bobmartens1089 We don't understand your weird system of measuring MILES

[@ITStechy]

I wouldn’t bother with factory head unit repairs in the Gen 12 at this point. Put a new HU in with CarPlay and/or Android Auto and call it a day. You’ll be much happier and the screen can be adapted to the rear view camera anyway.

[@1AAuto]

+ITStechy Thanks for the tip!

[@virginiareeder9961]

What brand ?? ... do you have a link ...??

[@franksantos9408]

Thanks for that very informative video.

[@CalvinJones-hu4kp]

I had transmission problem gearing down I was 6000 miles over on the recall

[@JohnnyRebKy]

My 2011 5.0 has a bad vaccume hub at 93k miles. Makes racket going down the road and started losing brake fluid

[@Fyi51]

None of those problems I had with my truck. Keep maintnance schedule and you will be fine.

[@monkeyslap]

My 2012 5.0 has been a tank that maintains like a Honda.

[@CJColvin]

@@monkeyslap Awesome brother I have 2011 Ford F150 with a 5.0L Coyote V8 with 135,000 miles on it and still going strong and it's a beast and it sounds like a beast with the Borla ATAK Catback exhaust.

[@XOneStarX]

So untrue. I dare to find anyone who keeps up with maintenance more than me. Never going to buy a Ford again. One and Done. Piece of shit.

[@brandonwright6578]

Great info but definitely seems like there’s some sugar in his tank lol 😂

[@zb3621]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Reminds me of your son Brandon

[@Kip1282]

Tips from an owner since 30k miles for 2013 5.0: Rear Diff will get water in it. Make sure to replace as soon as it’s dirty. T-Connector gaskets for coolant lines will leak at approx 130k. You’ll see evidence of that when coolant is low and there is coolant fluid on top of oil filter located directly below the T-Connector. SYNC sucks and radio will stop working. Wiring harness may drop and hit exhaust causing it to melt. So if it gets wet (car washes/wet weather), it will kill your fuel pump and stall your truck. Simple fix if you run into that issue. Other than that decent truck.

[@williamhrow9025]

What was your radio issue?

[@todd718]

Rusting cab corners due to the leaking third brake light

[@qm2092]

Very informative videos! I love what you guys are doing!

[@1AAuto]

+Q M Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com

[@dmb531sull]

Don’t forget about the rocker panels completely rotting out I mean there’s huge chunks or steel gone and I waxed my truck a couple times a year absolutely disgusting

[@RoccoSmith-oi2ii]

Do you have to reset a BMS when replacing the battery on a 2011?

[@brodrickrobertson3459]

2012 5.0 Radio went out clock blinks. Change water pump and thermostat= fan now runs full time loud and proud no one can hear anything but it around me. Fuse #27 blown fuel pump fuse. Watch out for that one.

[@1AAuto]

+Brodrick Robertson Thanks for the feedback!

[@carlosbedoyaortiz5792]

You missed fuse 27, something I hear is showing a lot of issues in this F-150

[@philippeleblanc7293]

Transmission cooling lines blowing while backing a trailer

[@666dynomax]

I can't believe all the issues with f150. Oh wait yes i can i had a few... not anymore....

[@hugopalacios1908]

How to replace vacuum pump on a f150 2013 eco boost thank you!

[@ChrisBogle]

How about the gas pump fuse. Mine keeps burning, corroding....why? Engine just won't start.

[@flacoface]

I believe that there are 3 mass airflow sensors in the 3.0 Ecoboost. Cleaning with CRC worked for me.

[@garypic4083]

Eco POS

[@anthonyreed7771]

I have a question The low oil warning light, on off, on off on off at low idle ! I have changed oil pressure sensor Oil changed Still happening I do hear it start to clacking clack after a moment of the Warning light appears and then it goes away with the warring light? Is this the oil pump going out?

[@pastardicus]

Same here any luck yet ?

[@lynchburgliving]

Great video!

[@stevepereira8898]

Good Tips, my 2013 f150 with the 5.0 blew a fuse for the fuel pump, is this a sign of the pump getting weak, I heard Ford knows of the wires to the pump being under sized, any help would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻

[@brainstem2023]

My truck doesn't randomly downshift. But when I step on the gas hard, like when I'm merging onto a highway, it downshifts really hard. I'm used to it, but anyone who hasn't driven it before is startled by it. Is this possibly related to the transmission recall?

[@larrybooth2530]

My 2013 F-150 downshifted at 65 mph to first gear and damaged the engine and Ford will not fix it and they asked me for $16,500 to fix it after the recall was done. The recall did not fix the downshift. No more Fords for me!

[@rudymora3]

I have a 2009 F150 Ford never had an issue with it just change the oil and put gas

[@gordonfroese2359]

My ‘14 now has some hard spots in the steering. It’s electric! Dahell?

[@DAVEAHOE361]

Another problem I found was the fuel pump Fuse. Ford has a fuse relocation kit due to the first fuse was to small and would burn up. I had to do it because I was having trouble starting and found out that what it was. I have a 2010 F-150 5.4.

[@1AAuto]

+David Arellano Thanks for the feedback!

115k miles on my 2011 limited 6.2 and no issues yet. Shes ready for some updating in the suspension department but other than that shes still perfect.
