Default HELP!!! EB cutting out underload.

My 2011 f150 EB started cutting out under load. The first time this happened it threw a code p130d. I cleared code and it continued to cut out. This time only The check engine light started flashing for a minute or 2 and went away. Every time I start to accelerate the engine starts cutting out. Has anyone had this issue?

Just relax and take a step back. It's most likely spark plugs or a coil pack, how many miles on your truck.

Flashing check engine light is a cylinder misfire. Read the codes and see what it posts. If it just started there may not be a code set, if that's the case drive it a little while longer and it will eventually set a code for either a random misfire or it will say exactly what cylinder is the culprit.

Mine did same thing. Ford couldn't fix it. I fixed it myself! Driving 5.0 now, no problems.

Had the same issue at 20K miles, but mine mainly only happened when it was tune while not doing it in stock form. It ended up being a bad/weak coil.

The code is this:
P130D ENGINE KNOCK / COMBUSTION PERFORMANCE - FORCED LIMITED POWER

Most likely throw because of crappy gas, bad misfire, or possibly a bad knock sensor, I would suggest pulling your plugs and checking them. Replace them with sp534's gapped at .030 or .032 and go from there

I agree with both of you, and that first thing you should do is pull the plugs. It could also be a plugged fuel filter or some other fuel related issue.

My plugs were fried at 40k. Replace them.

My fathers '12 Eco threw a misfire code at 55k. I had him put in sp534's gapped at .030 and so far no more issues. Like others have said, I would try plugs first. At 50k its probably time, on the Eco's anyway.
