2010 F150 Problems
Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2010 F150 with a 5.4L and 125,000 miles. A week after I bought it I started noticing an issue with it idling when it is warmed up. After driving around for 30-40 minutes I will pull into a parking spot and it will start ticking really loud and acts like it is going to die. If you put it in park and give it some gas it will go back to running normal. It has done this three times in a two week period. It has not thrown a warning light. I have searched for a solution and most threads are older and for trucks with low miles. I've seen anything from it needs major engine work, to cleaning sensors, to using heavier oil.
Has anyone experienced this same issue? And is there an easy solution to fix it?

i have a 2009 fx4. Mines been doing this since day one. Runs fine until i pull in my driveway and the wheel is turned. Then it starts bucking and sputtering. Sounds like it goes down to 6 or 4 cylinders. Never throws a code or goes to limp mode. I just give it gas and it clears up. I have 70000 on it with the factory plugs and coils. It only happens once every month or two and usually only on my driveway which is on a upward slope.
I was in the mindset this was caused by the VCT solenoids. Curious to see what others have to say.
