Fixed one issue and another arises...

[RichardH]

Rich I would agree you can't go wrong using factory Motorcraft whenever possible. Rock Auto offers Motorcraft for this part as well as other brands that are a little cheaper if you have to go that route for your budget.

HF, honestly, I forgot they sell MC parts. Doh! I actually never bought parts from them but probably shop them weekly for my wish list.

On a side note, work opportunities are tough in TX so I started an LLC. Lol. Selling military surplus, camping, hunting and possibly fishing. I'll test out an Amazon seller account. Already have my Secretary of State certificate, EIN, business bank account. Maybe this comment should be in the general discussion part. Sorry. I guess my point is I'm working to spend money (on anything including expy repairs) wisely and avoid extraneous expenses and time spent.

Sounds good ! If you end up replacing the DPFE sensor you can find them over at Rock Auto as well as the correct hoses.

Hey good looking out, might pick this up anyway as I may have prematurely called it fixed. Its now an intermittent issue. Sometimes its falling flat on its face, sometimes it drives like normal again.

I did find what appears to be a hose that has completely rotted away. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GluhLzQWoBLm-nzBxo4mUZ7WFuhNsrl9/view?usp=sharing

Not sure if this is the cause or not, gonna have to get codes pulled tomorrow. I will definitely check out the TB. The air being on or off has no real effect on when it happens.

That takes a high temperature silicone hose, not a common vacuum or fuel hose. I just did them on my '04.

I bought, installed new ... DPFE (aftermarket) and hoses. The Aftermarket one failed me from day one, CEL kept coming back.

I had an aftermarket one fail too... Drove me nuts looking for the problem. Never again that Chinese junk.

I hear you and agree. The time/money to chase it down was crazy.

Fixed my no start issue, now I have another... Now, the truck drives fine, no issues, hot or cold, however, when I come to a stop at an intersection sometimes it starts chugging a little bit. If I give it some gas or start moving again, it stops. If I continue to sit there sometimes it just dies. No loss of power at any point while moving. Only happens when im at a dead stop. Any ideas?

I know you problem is fixed, but it if happens again check your
VCT Control Solenoids

That was my issue. When I'm stopped at a light it wanted to die. Had to keep giving it gas (neutral) to stay running

Check your vacuum hoses & connections & let us know year, etc of your truck. Put it in your signature & we won't ask again.

He did it quick I like him all ready.

I have a 16v 5.4, I don't think I have these. Going to get some codes read and go from there. Will update later tonight.

Side note, this has been one of the most maintenance free and reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Really hopping to roll over 300k on this bad girl. So far I have replaced 1 plug, 1 coil pack, 1 rear wheel hub, 2 batteries, 2 sets of battery terminals, tires twice, breaks twice. Once I get her running again, its time to get the rear folding 3rd row working.

Ok gentleman, here is what the code reader says

P1074 System to lean (bank 2)
P2195 O2 sensor signal stuck lean bank 1 sensor 1
P2197 O2 sensor signal stuck lean bank 2 sensor 1
P1405 Differential pressure feedback sensor upstream hose off or plugged
P0171 System too lean (bank 1)

Sounds like im replacing some O2 sensors, but at the top of the page it says:
"ASE certified master technicians have seen this issue on your type of vehicle and the most likely solution is: replace mass air flow (MAF) sensor"

Get a can of mass airflow sensor cleaner & spray it down to clean it (outside of it's housing of course) See if that works for you first instead of throwing parts at it.
