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.

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 had these symptoms on my 2014 F150. Changed so many parts needlessly, it turned out that my KEY was bad. I bought a $175 key from Ford and programmed it myself using FOREscan and my truck which sat for 8 months started right away.

Cranks but won't fire

Ford F-150 2008 F150, 4.2L 6cyl 180000 miles
Cranks but won't fire. I've changed the crankshaft position sensor twice and both times it fired but then it did same thing after a short time. Both times it died while driving it was like it was put into neutral and shut the key off.
*Previous crankshaft position sensors were aftermarket, waiting for a Ford sensor to arrive.

Runs like poo one minute then ok the next

Ford F-150 2008 Fx4 v8 0 miles
Ok so ill be driving amd everything will be ok untill i slow down to a stop then it idles very low so low it stalls it doesn't do it all the time but mostly when i put it in reverse... the only reason i think it does it in reverse more is because it has the most torque so you dont have to use as much of the gas pedal to get it going which results in the low idle stalling... i replaced the crankshaft position sensor and cleaned the maf sensor... any info would help please and thank you
