Try cleaning your Mass Air Flow senser with cleaner from part store make sure it's for that senser n clean up throttle body real good with cleaner too. Also change out your PVC valve. I also had cooling fans not coming on as needed replaced couple relays n all is good now. Also check temperature control senser. Had same problems. Truck runs so much better now.

Acceleration loss under load

Ford F-150 2005 F150 5.4 3valve 100000 miles
Has power with overdrive off but hesitates and Boggs down when going up hill with overdrive on and acts sluggish when cruising at low speeds with overdrive on. When you step on the gas halfway to the floor or more it Boggs way down before accelerating. I have replaced all 8 coils all 8 spark plugs fuel filter both evap valves and the fuel pump control module and cleaned the mass airflow sensor and dumped fuel system cleaner in the tank.

Chaz from United States 10 years ago
I went through this problem for about 9 months. Replaced icm, computer, disputer, coils, plugs , wires, tps, maf, egr , fuel pressure regulator,. Last thing replaced o2 sensor fixed the total thing. If I was to start over I would get the air right, o2 sensors and maf. Then check fuel pressure, and go from there. Go to a mechanic that can read the obd1 computer to diaganose it better. Good luck

If you have the 4R70E or W transmission there’s an issue with the design of the drum in the transmission and the valves sticking in the valve body. They make a better designed drum to fix the problem.

My pick up does not accelerate

Ford F-150 1998  140000 miles
It started with jerks while driving; when starting gold y vibrates and then it normalizes. While driving it losed power as if choking a little, but now it got worse. It chokes while accelerating and sounds as if exploding, when I let go it keeps driving; if I accelerate again it does the same but it doesn't stall. If I turn it off for 5 seconds it works for 10 minutes and then it fails again. I alreadi cleaned the injectors, changed spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, coils and their sensors. I've already had this problem for a year and they can't solve it, yesterday I scanned it and had air sensor error, but changing it didn't fix it.

Have you tried changing fuel pump module, ford ground wires should be cleaned tightened up fender well grounds all of them. Make aground wire ,ground strap ect. Ground firewall to the bracket on alt.

Fuse problem

Ford F-150 2017 King Ranch / 3.5 EcoBoost/4x4 114000 miles
My power mirrors, blind spot sensor, all climate control and door controls inoperable. Warning light comes on indicating blind spot issue... is this a fuse/relay issue? I can’t identify which of those to replace. Any guidance would be appreciated, raining cats and dogs here and driver window is down.

This could potentially be caused by a fuse or relay problem.
To check for a fuse problem, you will need to locate the fuse panel in your vehicle. This is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car, or in the engine compartment. The fuse panel will have a diagram showing the location and function of each fuse. You can check the fuses to see if any are blown or damaged. If you find a blown fuse, you can replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.
To check for a relay problem, you will need to locate the relay panel in your vehicle. This is usually located in the engine compartment or under the dashboard on the driver's side of the car. The relay panel will have a diagram showing the location and function of each relay. You can check the relays to see if any are damaged or not functioning properly. If you find a faulty relay, you can replace it with a new one.
If you are unable to identify the source of the problem or if the issue persists after checking the fuses and relays, I recommend having a mechanic diagnose and repair the issue to ensure that the problem is properly addressed and the vehicle is safe to drive.

This issue could also be caused by a small crack in the tail light shorting out the blis sensor

Gives wrench sign and goes into limp mode SolvedSolved

Ford F-150 2014 F150 3.5l 190000 miles
Driving around and then it goes into limp mode and shows the wrench symbol, no other codes the one I know of from the fuel pump sensor because the gas gauge works when it wants to, turn it off and start it up again after about a minute and runs fine, it’s happened before a few times but hasn’t happened for a while until now, I’ve cleaned the throttle body and mass flow sensor and it still happens

Oil low pressure

Ford F-150 2017 Turbo ecoboost 3.5 200000 miles
At the start, engine has a sound like hitting something, and after a couple minutes, warning low oil pressure, but back to the normal when I accelerate, sometimes appears the warning in high rpm (2500) and doesn't recover with the gas pedal. I have codes of crankshaft position sensor problems. I'm thinking to replace timing chain, but before start, any advices?

I have a transmission failure

Ford F-150 2005  200000 miles
The fuse number 33 gets blown. I already checked coils and oxygen sensors, everything looks normal. There are no cables making a short circuit, and I also checked the gearbox harness. Scanning it gives codes for shift solenoid a and b, but the gearbox seems to work fine. What could it be?

Hi! Does it have a dual fuel tank system? If so, try switching the tanks. Could be the fuel sending unit. If not, check your fuel filter and pump first.
Caligula44 from United States 2 years ago
Plugs or coils is your problem . Misfiring in one or more of your cylinders. If that's not it check out the fuel pump.
