Cold fired the stang Thursday warmed it up and pulled out the drive. By the time I got to road CEL was lit, before I got to the bottom of our hill it was flashing. p0300 p0301 p0304 p0308. 1,500-2000rpm the engine was bucking ferociously attempting to leap from the engine bay. Swapped some plugs and coils and cleared codes and cyl8 misfire stayed. All attempts at resetting failed so off to the dealer assuming that Cyl8 side IMRC was the culprit. So off to the dealer. After keeping the car for most of the day... they to were stumped on cyl8. Compression good. Ford mechanic diagnosed clogged injector, possible debris in the fuel rail. Drained fuel rail swapped injectors. Back in the game. Seems to run like new.
I would have assumed they would have seen the clogged injector in the pcm, here’s to hoping they didn’t just get lucky. I was told Intakes are back ordered, there are a lot of them failing. No TSB on them yet. They did however say that Ford will be releasing a TSB for 5.0 heads all the way back to gen 1. Apparently these motors are eating intake valves. Knife edging the valves and sucking them into the head. Just a heads up to y’all...
