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.

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.

[@bvb9858]

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

[@jeffcrosier5461]

Yep happened to me on my 2014

[@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

Or mkre simply you just look for a p03xx code.

[@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.

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

[@nelsondasilva667]

Should also talk about most common o ring failure on the y or t connection to coolent container

[@mhayes22167]

2013, same thing

[@thefatfantom]

Don't forget the A/C evaporator getting clogged with dust and crap, causing weak air flow. And you have to remove the dash to clean it, because a cabin air filter was omitted by the engineers.

[@683carl]

My 2011 f150 has 211,000 km and everything including the ac works perfect.it blows so cold that I can’t even use it on full,or I’ll freeze.the heater is also amazing.it’s only ever on low,even in the winter.honestly I love my truck.no complaints about anything

[@maddogs1989]

@@jakejohnson9827 That's literally every Truck now. Fords retain more of the work truck feel then Dodge or Chevy

[@ASDonohoe]

You don't have to remove the dash. Just score 3 lines of a square and flip back the tab you cut in the Evap housing and wash it out gently after applying cleaner. Push it back then Seal it with some good AC duct tape or drain pipe seal tape. Its just a plastic box and isn't thermal. The fan blows through the evap coil so its fine. Garbage design with no cabin filter. Shame on Ford

[@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.

[@ryanhack5]

You need to make a 12th gen video engine specific. Those years had some of Fords main engines in these years. 5.4, 5.0, 6.2, 3.5 eb That's a ton of different problems to look at

[@maicodoug]

My backup camera failures seem to be tied to the harness at the tailgate being moved around. Also the spedo resting at 40mph after a batter change. A whole new "cluster" I will install myself. Hate to pay the dealer anything seeing how their honesty is never actually reliable but reprogramming the cluster for my current millage, I don't know how to do. Thx for the vid. You guys are my favorite how to people. You're all going to heaven!!!

[@shawnmills3182]

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.

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

[@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.

If I were to buy a 1/2 ton now I'd buy a new Tundra, old design and all. What price contentment?

[@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.

[@uriah-s97]

So basically, get a vehicle that doesn't have a computer. Seems like the miles of wires, faulty sensors, bad programs, and junk plugs and harness are all the problems. Lol, better get you an 85 square body

What about the timing chain tensioners going on the 5.4 tritons. The driver's side springs breaking. The front driver's side calipers locking up. The VCT solenoids getting dirty and causing misfires and it to run rough. And the 3rd brake light leaking when it rains and getting the interior soaked. All these are fairly common issues

And most recently: the stereo is on the fritz -- oh also, ( I’m sure I’m about to come outta pocket for this) (and it’ only did it one time) the power steering …. I don’t even know what to call it- i think it’s an electric pump(?) / it dosent operate off the belt- here’s a plus: just changed the original brakes ( pads only because the rotors were fine @ 192K miles!

My 09 f150 platinum won't change where the air blows from. It was stuck on the feet so I changed the actuator, but it still wouldn't change. I have removed the actuator and moved the gears by hand to get the air out of the dash vents.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@JackJr04]

Another issue that you’ll most likely have, is the torque converter going, you’ll know when it shifts hard and the rpm’s bog up and down at around 30-60

[@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.

[@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.

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.

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.

[@cappazone1807]

The bracket that holds the actuator cables broke on mine. May just replace with a solid rear window with no slider

[@davidschulze2040]

There's also the fact that there is no in cab air filter and the air inlets are under the driver and passenger seat with nothing stopping trash and dirt from getting sucked into your HVAC system.

[@markk3652]

Those are air outlets, the inlet is outside the truck at the base of the windshield on the cowl, that's what all those slots are for.😐

2010 F150 5.4 Triton Ecoboost V8 101,000 miles. New spark plugs by Ford at 100K - still have a slight rough idle (no codes/check engine light) and after it sets for a day, fuel smell outside for a few minutes. Mileage intown/road is around 12-13 mpg, and has been forever. Thoughts? (I'm second owner, and have had it since around 40K miles. It does have a K&N air filter.

[@jamesbuckner1099]

Another common issue with these trucks are broken spring in the strut assembly assembly and the third taillight above the back window after a few years, leaks water into the back seat area.

I have a 2014 eco 3.5 XLT and it's running great at 75k. Two days ago I did a full tune up(spark plugs, flushes, front/rear diff's etc and it's running smooth as silk. It's paid off and i have no plans of trading it in for the new ones.

[@NG-tz8wo]

I have a 13 eco with118k on it now. No issues other than having to put grease on the drive shaft once a year.

[@jsngallery]

you could probably add the blower motor, mines gone bad twice now.. but definitely the O2 sensors made the list for sure 👍

[@michaelbolton2741]

What about the "shudder" on the 6-speed transmissions? Happens when cruising with a light pedal; when the shudder occurs, engine speed increases slightly (100-200 RPM), backing off the pedal or accelerating slightly stops the shudder. Otherwise the truck drives fine.

[@PopAlmostUpFront]

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 👍🏻

How about the master cylinder recall?

[@craigdekoning1090]

Appreciate this video, unfortunately my issue is not one of the top 5. My 2012 Ford F-150 5.0 has a no start issue. It's cranking over, no issued with fuse 27, I swapped the ignition and fuel relays no change. I pulled the coils and it's sparking grounded. Turning over the RPM registers, so no crank sensor issue and I hear a whir when powering up the vehicle and can smell fuel under the hood after failed start up attempt, so assume the fuel pump is working. I also check the passenger kick panel for no connection. I picked put Autel code reader and all I got is a very small emissions systems issue. Hope the 1A Auto team can help!

[@bond007d]

It still is very likely fuse #27. The fuse does not always blow, but more often than not the connector it is pressed into is burned on one side and essentially killing continuity. It's pretty easy to see if this is the case, as the connector and/or the fuse leg itself will be burned or even melted from heat caused by a loose connection. If this is what has happened, it acts just like a blown fuse and the pump will not come on, resulting in the engine turning over, but not firing for lack of fuel. If the connector (or fuse leg) is not totally melted off, you can often clean it up with a small flat file or burnishing tool and then make sure both sides of the connectors are pushed back together for the tightest fit that you can make happen without breaking things. This is why the problem is sometimes intermittent at first and then gets worse. If the fuse leg is melted, it will need to be replaced. If the connector is no good, it will need to be replaced, or some fancy surgery will need to happen.

[@mehicanbls1526]

[@The_Handsom_Italian]

My A/C decides itself when it feels like turning on and off and my 12v cigarette lighter plugs take turns not working , my lock and unlock button on my key works some days and not others. I'm guessing the electrical wiring or modulators are going bad as today my truck wouldn't turn over when I tried to leave the gas station turning the check engine light on saying secondary ignition coil a and b are not working so I replaced them all and I still had the same problem until I located the ignition fuse, unplugged it and put it back in then I found the ignition module and followed the wiring harness down wiggling it and then tried to start the truck and it worked like nothing ever happened. I'm glad It works but now I'm worried my truck could catch on fire at any time with whatever weird electrical faults are going on

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

I didn't know about the transmission recall. That might explain the odd whining sound it's been making when it shifts.

[@extremeseas2165]

Outdoorslife Survivcraft that’s probably just fluid buildup to help it shift. Nothing bad.

[@Trials-and-Tribulations]

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.
