When trying to back out of my driveway, the truck made a loud popping sound from the engine. When I raised the hood, I could smell unburnt fuel. I then did some research online and found out that this could be a blown spark plug from the cylinder head. I have read many forums and talked to several mechanics about the symptoms I have experienced. All have said this is a very common problem with this engine and other Ford engines. I called Ford motor CO. And they were not aware of any problems with this engine. My local dealer was aware of the problem and therefore stock plenty of ignition coils on hand. This repair is estimated to cost me $400. Ford should be responsible for this cost, no questions asked.
2000 F-150 Ford 5. 4 liter continues to have problems with the #5 ignition coil keeps misfiring. I've had this problem dx by my local mechanic over three years and he has repaired it. It cost just utter $200 each time to fix it. I have receipts. Today he said to contact the dealer to see it there is a recall.
I own a 2000 Ford F-150 lightning. It blew several (3) spark plugs two months after purchasing it. The vehicle had approximately 16,000 miles and was still under warranty. The spark plugs and the ignition coil had to be replaced by the dealer.
Repeated ignition coils failed creating unsafe driving conditions. Also brought in on several times to be fixed to be told dealer could not find the problem until I was left stranded several times. On the first time of two coils going while I was driving the hubcaps came offand tires went loose.
