2004 ford f150 running rough after driving and putting in park
Ok my 04 f150 is running kinda rough when put in park check engine light came on going to put my scanner on it in about in hour. Do you guys think its a coil plug or would it be something else I no on my 00 I had before this did this and was replaced the coil plug and it ran like brand new. Has anyone else had this issue?

you have the 5.4 so it could be a bad cam phaser, i have the 4.6 and don't have cam phasers i don't know much about them other than they go bad and need replaceing sooner or later.

Reset the code and see if if was a one off......but
When did you last change the oil and filter and do you have a Motorcraft oil filter fitted.
Agree that the 5.4 has the cam phasers and they can fail and rattle. These are hydraulically actuated devices that adjust the position of the camshaft to maintain accurate valve opening at all reve ranges.
This engine is very sensitive to poor oil pressure at the top of the engine. If you use anything but 5w20 oil and motorcraft oil filter you run the risk of poor oil flow to the phasers, the chain tensioners and the camshafts etc.
Listen to the engine carefully, is there any obvious ticking or rattling from the top end or the front of the engine? get some one to rev it slowly up to 1200-1400 revs whilst you listen, if there is a rattle up to those revs but it goes away, then you could have a worn cam phaser......but if you do, then other timing gear will be worn too and its a big job to sort it out.
Seach for a great article started by S_Vares - its called something like The final thread to solve 5.4 engine ticking etc.....lots of people having this issue.
But, you need to faultfind it carefully and dont assume thats the problem.
Plugs, coils and all 8 connectors need to be checked, if you have a misfire you may not get a CEL but scan the ECU for fault codes.
Cam position sensors are easy to change, but often they are not the cause of a bank timing fault code.
Change your plugs (agian check the plug change problem threads on here)
find out all you can and report back here.
good luck

do the easy stuff first, id change the filter at least to a proper motorcraft filter and you can change the oil in 20 mins.
It may also be worth cleaning the throttle body and you can also disconnect the battery and turn on the headlights to drain all power from the circuit, which when you reconnect the battery, will force the ECU to re-learn the engine settings......it could as easy as that.
