my '05 is throwing a P2195 code and as you all know there's a laundry list of possibilities. i just am hoping its not my intake manifold. the engine boggs down randomly while trying to accelrate. it doesn't happen often and it struggles at idle randomly too. if anyone has a way to approach this problem properly i'd appreciate the help. None of this happens on a consistent basis.

SO i think i figured out the problem i read a post that said that sometimes the reason for the engine bogging down was excess airflow due to the seal around the airfilter door. So i checked it out and the seal was really worn away and i also noticed that to feeder tube that connects to the air filter box was dislodged also. i'm guessing that must have happened when they were cleaning the engine compartment just before i bought it. here are the pics after i snapped it back into place and with the new seal.

Did that fix your problem ??

yes the engine is running smooth and no bogging down. i'll see if the code comes back but not yet.

good deal

That's awesome man. Good to see everything worked out and for dirt cheap too.

well looks like my fix wasn't a fix after all. my truck bogged down again for the first time since i tried to fix it. what should i do next. the truck doesn't bog down often so i'm not sure where to start with this. thanks in advance

Is the code back, or just the bogging down?
Have you tried anything else? I mean like cleaning MAF/throttle body, replacing the o2 sensor, checking for vacuum leaks, checked on the condition of your FPDM?

both are back and i haven't tried anything else yet i'm new to the F150 so I'm learning this stuff still

ok i cleaned my MAF sensor and the damn truck accelerates like a bat out of hell. i didn't drive it far enough to see if it bogged down yet. i'll do that tomorrow. what is the FPDM?

thanks again
