HELP!!!! Car is at house down

[KoolerSL2]

Driving car down road and starts missing. Limped it to a parking lot, parked and from then on car will barely run. Ignition dead on drivers side, fuel injectors are firing. Phasers and chain appear to be fine, no broken spring. Chain has good tension. No burnt oil, valve covers cracked open and looks brand new. Pulling solenoids to check them now. What steps to check what? This is my DD. Need suggestions and help. Thanks!

This is Chris wife, hes at home without internet. Help!

Codes are p0022, p0018, p0305 then there were ignition coil codes after engine shut down.

[KoolerSL2]

Yea I added them to the original post. P0022, Poo18, P0305 AND some ignition coil codes after the PCM shut the car down

how old is the battery & the alternator?

 

[KoolerSL2]

Battery is brand new. Alternator seems to be ok.

Just found a busted screen on the solenoid.

 

[KoolerSL2]

Solenoid also seems to be working ok other then that

 

[KoolerSL2]

Alternator check out good!

 

[KoolerSL2]

Alternator tested good. Need directions where to go next...

So the side the cops are not working on have no 12v?

Do they ground when running?

Take a look at this link. On page 1 it shows the schematic for the COP system. Though it's for an 05-07, you'll get the idea of what you're looking for.

Since one side is powered, you can assume that the circuit is getting power to where it splits at the fuse box. From personal experience, this split is actually on the inside of the fuse box and right underneath the block. You'll have to diassemble the fuse box to get to the wires.

If that first split is good, move onto the Splice Junctions that are shown.

Now, if you want a wiring diagram matching your car, Auto Zone has it on their website. Add your vehicle, select Repair Help, then Vehicle Repair Guides. If they don't have 2009 in there yet, bump down to 2008.

Thanks for posting this, it actually answered a question I was wondering about.

What codes come back after clearing?
Another thing to look into is to check oil pressure at at normal operating temp. And if you have checked it. What is the pressure at normal temp at idle ?

any ideas on how to check the VCT? I am going to check into the COP system.

Start by check base oil pressure. That is set one.

Well after just putting it back together to get it moved into the shop, it somehow fixed itself.
called a friend at the dealer i worked at and he said theres a updated part number for the vct solenoids.
He also pulled my codes and symptoms per ford and said more then likely the one screen being busted causef the solenoid to lock out. And my tune is way too much fuel at startup and idle so new vct solenoids and tune should cure my issues. Find out 100% in a couple weeks.
