Hello everyone,
I've been a visitor to this board quite a few times for small issues.
I had a look around and couldn't find anything that seemed fully applicable to my current issue.
I have a 2005 Expedition Eddie Bauer 5.4L.
This morning I came to an intersection with red light camera and made a very hard stop to avoid a ticket.
When I came to a full stop the engine started shuddering and I had a lack of acceleration and a solid MIL.
I figured about a block from a parts shop I would limp it over, but the MIL began flashing and I couldn't get past 1000 RPM.
I stopped the truck and checked the oil thinking this could cause the noise and roughness. Oil level was sitting at the bottom of the thatch.
I left the engine off for about 10 minutes, and when I re-started it, the truck idled smooth at ~800RPM then dropped to about 250 RPM when it warmed back up and shuddered like crazy and stalled. (imaginge sitting in a paint shaker with leather seats)
I figured the blinking MIL would be a misfire so I limped it at about 4km/h to the parts shop about 500 meters up the road.
I scanned the codes and received: P0305, P0308, P0307.
I didn't think that 3 coils would go at once, so I tried swapping them with the 1, 2, and 3 cylinders and cleared the codes.
Upon restart I received the same 3 cylinders misfiring (5, 7, 8).
I pulled the plug from cylinder 5 and it was fouled with oil.
I had new plugs anyway so I replaced all 8 (which all had oil on them) and re-started the truck... same shudder, but only misfiring on 5 & 8. After running about 2 minutes I pulled cyl 5 plug and found it already had oil on it.
Then I received: P0011, P0022, P0300, P2196, P0305, P0308
The exhaust during all of this smells very rich and there is quite a bit of water(?) dripping from the tailpipe, there is no scent to the dripping liquid.
So... Anyone else experience anything like this?
I was thinking (and am probably completely wrong) perhaps the hard stop let oil run to the front of the cylinder head and it got sucked into the engine via vacuum line (there is some oil residue in the vacuum line from front passenger valve cover) where it was introduced to the cylinders causing spark plug fouling and misfiring, causing the O2 b1s1 rich reading and possibly, after running the engine a few times, stopping up the catalytic converter as the final code i received was P0420 before I gave up for the day.
Any input is appreciated.
