2010 5.4 Engine - low power
Have a 2010 Lariat with the 5.4 and 44,000 on the odometer. Bought last fall with 36,000 on the clock.
Darn thing bogs down when you hit the gas, esp from a low load condition. Sometimes she idles a bit weird too. No light or codes though. Mileage is poor, but the power issue is the thing. Tail pipe has a lot of soot. Uses no oil (thank goodness) and no cam phaser issues or signs.
My thinking is coil packs. Have some ordered. Could be plugs too?
Want to hear the wisdom of the commentariat here.
Thanks!
