Default Faulty Fuel Injector(s)

Could bad/faulty fuel injector(s) throw a P0172/0175 code on a 2007 F150 4.6L? The only symptoms I am having is a slight rough idle. O2 sensors, MAF sensor, spark plugs and EGR valve has been replaced.

Clogged, not getting a good spray leaving unburned fuel in the exhaust? Possible.

Could be caused by a misfire too. Do you have the ability to read live data?

Default Lay the fuel rail on dry newspaper turn key on and none should leak

Miles on engine? If you have enough miles over 100k then just replace them all if you don't have faith in them . Fuel is going to kill your cats . You can set up to test them with a small battery and resistor for spray pattern . Try you tube .

Would a misfire be due to faulty coils and/or injectors?

Either one could. Coils rarely ever go bad. Usually the connections on the coils need cleaned and need new boots and springs. I always recommend doing a cleaning and new boots and springs before changing coils. Most of the time changing plugs, cleaning coil connections, and new boots and springs will clear up a misfire.

Not referring to a complete clog, but a semi-clog that screws up the spray, making a stream of fuel rather than droplets.
