04 f150 4x4 with the 5.4. What's the code mean? How do I fix it?

 

Bad coil

 

Which one? How much does a shop or dealer cost

 

Google the code....simply type the code in the google search box, and read away.

 

I was just wanting to know if that code tells you what coil pack it is or could it be a couple of different things. I do not have a lot of space cash. I work 65 hours a week

 

Anyone know what pack it is and how hard is it to replace?

 

It is either one of your 8 coil packs (black boots on top of the spark plugs) or it is your ECM. Check the connections for each of your coil packs and see if you can see a crack or loose connection. That code, without going to get it read at a dealer doesnt specify exactly which cylinder is bad. you can do some trial and error by switching the boots or inspect each one individually. They are really easy to take off. There is going to be a 7mm bolt that needs to be undone and then just pull the individual coil pack off. Hope this helps you.

 

Update. I went to have a test done on the truck and the code is gone. It's running fine now. Any thoughts?

 

With working 65 hours a week, how did you find time to have the truck tested, yet not enough time to google it yourself? In the time it took to type your messages here, you could have been all the wiser....

Just trying to help you save money in the future. there's a wealth of info on trouble codes, both here on this site (using the search) or by googling them.

 

Work 65 hours a week and don't have any spare cash ???? damn dude...you need another job.
