Problem when the engine is cold
Hey guys!
New to the forum. I have an 06, F150, 5.4, screw w/ about 105,000. I have searched but could not find much related to my problem.
I usually start up, wait a couple of minutes and take off. Did so about a month ago, had to stop at a light within 5 minutes of start up and could feel her miss/cut out pretty bad. I popped it in neutral, but still felt the miss. So I went into ford, and diagnostic came back as low compression on #8. They checked again once the engine became warm, and everything checked out ok. My plugs and boots were changed about 2 months ago if that's what your thinking. Ford replaced the plug, boot, and added some Seafoam to the fuel tank.
I still get a miss if she isn't somewhat warm. This only happens when the engine is cold and at I'm at stop, runs like a champ otherwise. The ford mechanic mentioned the valves, but I'm hoping that someone might have some insight before getting into the engine...
