Same thing happened to me I replaced the fuse for the automatic transmission. I believe it was a 15amp fuse and it’s located in the fuse box that’s under the hood in the engine compartment

Ok im gonna sound like a girl right now but i have a question. I just noticed i had ovrdrive
(yes im blonde) at any rate i wanted to know when you should use your overdrive? is it good to leave on all the time ? i live where there are soe steep hills i need to go thruogh just to get to town and its causing me to use my breaks too much, i did nothice today when i took the over drive off idint zip down the lill as fast as usual . so should i just use it on flat lands or what ? thnks for listening

Stalling out and no acceleration

Ford F-150 2006 5.4 3v 202000 miles
I can start my truck and it will idle fine in park or neutral
As soon as i put a load on it will start getting rough and stall out
In park it will idle for a bit till it gets warm then does the same as in drive
When i step on gas it will sometimes get the rpms to move but when i let off the gas the
Rpm stay up for a couple seconds then go down and stall
On diagnostics it will say im not getting a reading from crank phase sensor bank 2
Replaced sensor 3 times and still same thing

Truck failure

Ford F-150 2008  128 miles
It was working fine and the next day I used it I felt the truck heavy, it didn't have the normal acceleration, and then I realized it didn't have the power to go uphill, it went sluggishly and when the revolutions go up it started shuddering. With the scanner it showed errors P0755, P1747 and P0743, I was told it might be the gas pump, but the failure continues. It's a 2008 mexican Ford truck, 8 cilinders and 4.6L engine with automatic transmission.

The error code P1747 ir related to the transmission: pressure in the control solenoid, and most likely the other error codes are related. Check the solenoids.

How many miles since last transmission fluid exchange? Shuttering sound like torque converter shutter. Try BG Products transmission conditioner, it will neutralize the fluid. If the shutter goes away then exchange the fluid and use another BG conditioner again.

Truck starts then dies.

Ford F-150 2013  208000 miles
Got gas and then the problems started. Changed out 5 coil packs, all new plugs. New purge control valve. New fuel pump. Checked fuses and relay. Truck will start, rev up and then die. I hear a clicking sound near the kick panel fuse box just before it dies. Snap-On scanner is showing Code B10F1

Found this looking up your trouble code:

What are the Possible Causes of the Code B10F1 Ford?
Faulty Key-in-ignition switch
Key-in-ignition switch harness is open or shorted
Key-in-ignition switch circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty Body Control Module (BCM)
Faulty Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC)

I hope that helps.

Most likely your catalytic converters are clogged
keith from United States 3 years ago
Unfortunately they have already been removed. Ended up being internal damage. My guess jumped time or some other dumb issues those motors have from not being pampered. Took the truck in on a trade. Honestly at this point trying to get it moving on its way to a new home so I'm currently changing it out with a 4.6 i have...

Did you ever figure this issue out? Have been having the same issue with my 2010 f150 5.4 3v on cold starts of 35f or less. It does the same low rpm start for a second before it gets to normal and if I don't let it sit for 2-3 minutes and put it in drive, the engine stalls out. Any comments would be great.

Does anyone know what the issue is with this 2010 F-150 as I’m having the same issue in my 2009. Thanks in advance.

Revolutions go up and down

Ford F-150 2008  190581 miles
It starts normally and after a while the revolutions go up and down until it stabilizes again. Like 20 minutes afterwards it starts doing the same until it shuts off. The throttle body was cleaned, the spark plugs and cables were changed, but it does the same until shutting off.

Stalls when warm at low spèed

Ford F-150 2008 5.4 FX4 160000 miles
My truck wants to stall at low speeds. When I put the truck in neutral then Rev up the engine and pit it in drive it runs fine until I slow down again then it does the same thing. The garage changed the cam sensors but that didn't correct the problem. They suggest increasing the velocity of engine oil and or putting synthetic in to increase the oil pressure. Any thoughts?

Ian

If this is a manual transmission it sounds like your clutch is slipping, check the fluid level under the hood drivers side next to brake booster

15 5.0l V8 shuts off when came to a full stop.

Ford F-150 2015 XLT 5.0l V8 crew cab short box 145000 miles
5.0l 2015 238,500km (145000ish miles) runs fine, idels at 550rpm after warm up. The problem is intermittent, where after you drive for about an hour and only sometimes coming to a full stop, the truck will shut off. Addiontial the first few times (specifically 2x) the low engine oil pressure would flash in as the engine stuff off, with a breif maybe second of a shake. Every other time it just shut off like its a feature. (its not) No codes stored. Overall truck seems healthy.
