06 f150 5.4 tune-up turned bad! P0300, p0302, p0304.. "NOT plugs, or coils"
 

New to the forum so be easy :)..
06 f150 5.4 triton, 175xxx miles. I had a cylinder 5 misfire so I just decided to order plugs and coils and get it done with. Both plugs and coils are new motorcraft parts. I replaced all the plugs " none broke", put new coils on and it ran worse now then before. No codes so i took for a test drive to get fuel " wich was running on fumes and i hope thats not the misfire cause".. On way home it threw pending codes p0300, p0302, p0304, p0306, got home pulled them plugs put old ones back in that were good, swapped coils with other cylinders and misfire p0306 went away but 00, 02, and 04 remained, CEL stayed on after this test drive. Smooths out after you get going, just idles rough and a dog when under a load.. Fuel pressure is at 32koeo and 39koer, cat temp at idle was 870, cleaned maf sensor, checked for vacuum leaks "50times", Is it possible for running it that low on fuel to clog injectors or filter? Changed fuel filter 2 months ago. Cleaned throttle body at that time. It just has me puzzled because was no misfire on them cylinders before i worked on it and they all came on at once... Havent checked compression because them cylinders were fine this morning. Can a fuel rail sensor cause misfire? If I unplug it while running there is no difference in engine. Next step will be to replace injectors amd maybe fuel filter again?? Kind of at a dumb spot like im missing something.." Hate that F****** cylinder 4!!" Any help or criticism will help. Thank you!

the plugs were motorcraft sp515, i did not use a torque wrench but they were not overtightened. The coils are motorcraft yes and they came with new springs and boots on them, i used dielelectric grease in the boot end and small amount of anti seize on the plug inserts but not the threads.
I understand plugs can be bad out of box so that why I reinstalled the old ones back in them cylinders but before I pulled the new ones back out I put the old ones in the coils and held by a ground on top of engine and they had all kinds of spark. I will go buy some more plugs today and put in where I put old ones but I'm not expecting that to change anything.. Should that fuel pressure sensor make the engine stumble if I unplug it while idleing? I'm just leaning more torwards something fuel related now but I honestly have no idea why all the sudden something fuel is wrong when all i did was swap plugs and coils, BUT, the running that low on fuel always makes me nervous too for the fuel pump and filter, but it shows good fuel pressure also.. Help! Head is about to explode! Lol.

" this electronic bulls*** is why i rebuild and work on old fords! Bailing wire and ductape can fix anything on one!"

Could it possibly be the VCTs or the FPDM and would cause this problem? Or the Fuel rail pressure sensor?

I tried another spark plug in cylinder 2 just to see if it would change anything.. I did not put any anti seize on it and when i went to pull it out and try a different plug it busted off. I didnt torque them but i would guess 20-25 lbs is what they are at. All connectors to injectors and coils I removed and sprayed with electrical cleaner and reconnected them all and no change.

Parts store is 1.5 hours away and on my way there to get a brush to clean plug wells and get a new set of plugs to install and Will check the FPDM tomorrow.. Thank you for the quick responses..

What a headache!! Every 515 i put in 2 days ago broke off! I cleaned the wells good with a wire brush, put another new set of plugs in 546 this time and boom.. Runs like a champ! I was dumbfounded that a new set of 515s could be that ****ty.. Whoever invented them 2 piece spark plugs needs to be kicked in the nuts and then kicked again!! Thank you for your input Mark. Still going to change out the FPDM and keep my old one as a spare. Thanks again
