| Description of the problem | 2006 ford f-150 super crew 5. 4l v8 with approximately 28000 miles began to run rough when i let off the accelerator. Upon restart, the vehicle was smoking heavily and very rough to idle. Check engine light came on at that point. Vehicle was sluggish, had hardly any power. Took to local ford dealer who advised that fuel injectors for cylinders 7 and 8 failed, flooded the cylinders and caused a hydrolock. Initially i was advised that this was a $400 repair to switch out the injectors. Upon subsequent inspection, it was determined that significant engine damage had occurred from a thrown rod. Dealer now advising that a new motor will be required. Vehicle has manufacture date as 1/2006 (drivers door sticker). Ford advises that while 2005 engines had this same issue, my engine was not affected and is not subject to recall. |
