help codes
good evening everyone. i have an 08 f150 4x4 5.4. 275000 km . i have had a leak in my manifold for some time. its louder when its cold or just started and quiets as it warms. so u know I live in ontario canada and it gets very cold hear last week was -20 last night however when it was cold i started it and left immediedly as i was running late for work. i noticed like 2 minutes into my ride it got really loud and the gas fumes that are usually bad in the cab because it has had a leak for some time became much worse i was like light headed from it and got a headache also the truck lost significant power. i pulled in to tim hortons drive through and it was really struggling to stay running at idle. i decided to park it and have my wife come get me. today i went back for it. it fires up and it still has same issue its louder then it was before last night and has kind of a ticky sound and very little power when accelerating it threw an engine light on. is it possible that the cracked manifold would make it run so poorly and throw codes and an engine light. I have purchased the new manifold its the passenger side one. i did the drivers side already it was replaced 2 years ago. i was thinking of replacing the passenger side but it will either take more time then i have plus im not sure if i can do the job. but its very costly to have done from a mechanic and they cant give you a definite price. its depending on if any studs break or need to be extracted. so its like minimum 6 hours labor and up from there so on top of the 200 i paid for the doorman manifold and gaskets it could be another thousand. im worried if its a different or bigger problem im throwing good money after bad. I have 3 kids and honestly still recouping from christmas. lol. I just dont have alot of extra available funds at the moment. i am commited to fixing my truck as I just had the tranny rebuilt. it was 3600 dollars. Truck has a solid body and i have replaced most parts on it. any questions please ask. im starting with the basics here guys. thanks
