Intercooler condensation issue??
2012 crew cab ecoboost, 70k miles… Just towed my 25' "ultra lite" camper home for 2 hours with no issues at all… Got home and did some stuff for a few hours, decided to go to my shop about 7 miles away… Get on the road and see a buddy in front of me, so I stomp on the gas to go around him like an idiot, went around him and lost most power… Made it to the shop and turned it off thinking it would help… Turned it back on about 10 minutes later and started on my way, truck will NOT go over 40 mph. Small shudders and I can put it to the floor and it takes about 15 seconds to get going enough to shift gears but still will not go over 40… Just had the plugs replaced about a month ago because I had a similar problem when towing and the ford techs said I had a cracked plug causing a misfire. Today the weather was about 83 and fairly humid… Is this a condensation issue?? And what do I need to do?? Will it settle back down and be fine in the morning?? Thanks guys!!

Did it throw a cel? Scan for codes and clear them if they are present.
I would drill the Condensation hole and see what comes out. It will also prevent further buildup.
I'm guessing that something else is wrong as it usually goes away. Maybe you cracked another plug?

High pressure fuel filter? Or the filter that is connected to the in tank pump? Don't believe there is a high pressure fuel filter. Or maybe you meant high pressure fuel pump?
That's odd that was your issue, I was having issues with power in my truck as well for quite a while, took a stab and replaced the in tank pump/filter about 6,000 miles ago and that took care of a lot of my issues.
Maybe this will be another part on these trucks that shows weakness
