    It will be injectors, I would replace all the injectors on bank 1. They are only $35 a piece from Rockauto.

    trying to decide on a 2000 EB. price/issues

    Seems like a lot for a 2wd to me. I do agree with what state/area you are in. You can get 4wd around here for $2500-$4000 all day long. I got mine for free because previous didn't want to put the money into it and it only has 100k on my 2000 XLT sport.

    Tsb

    Recalls don't expire, tsb is just a bulletin to help technicians fix common problems that occur. Helps us from wasting a lot of time trying to diagnose something that Ford already knows how to fix. TSB's will only be fixed if you have a warranty.

    Replacing plugs 2003 5.4l

    You wont have a problem with plugs breaking in 2003. I personally wouldn't use Bosch in a Ford. I would only use motorcaft or autolite plugs.

    P0304 code remedy?

    I would check and make sure spark plug is still tight. We have seen a few come back with misfire in which the plug is loose.

    P0300 intermittent miss code - solved

    I have had customers supply the one piece Champion plugs and most have had problems. I end up putting the Motorcraft plugs to fix properly. The only downside to the new Ford plugs is that they are only going about 40-50K before needing to be replaced again.

    Wires pull out of multifunction switch and cause this concern if it is not a bulb.
