I was driving down the road today and i pulled up to a stop light, and i could feel the truck vibrate every so ofter like a hick-up. I got about a mile down the road then it started to hick-up while accelerating, then the check engine light began flashing. I pulled over to see if i could find anything, nothing. I changed the oil around 500 miles ago and I have about 150,000 miles on the 4.6L v8 engine. ANY IDEAS? S.O.S. i'm thinking something with the fuel pump, maybe I got some bad gas or just need to fill it up because i always run around 1/4 tank because I don't have much money for the 30 gallon tank fill up. I don't want my baby to die so please help! Thank You.

 

i am having the same problem with my truck try cleaning your maf or your fuel filter and maybe even be a plugged converter my truck has had this very thing happen to me three times so for the first time was a plugged converter the second time was a bad coil this time? who knows

 

A flashing Check Engine light on an F150 means at least one of the cylinders is mis-firing and you need to get it fixed quickly. If you have an OBD II scanner your code will even tell you which ones they are.

 

Hey thanks alot, yea i'm getting it scanned on Tuesday. I'm going to check my spark plugs.

 

today it looked like there was some fluid leaking out from under the transmission, it was in a little puddle on the ground. This aint good, any ideas?

 

Problem fixed Cylinder 5 was misfiring, changed the plug and it runs like new. I also ran some seafoam through the system.

 

It could be your trans seal in the bell housing mine blew out on a long road trip and it wrecked my tranny.. Don't drive it til you fix it

 

darnit, how do u fix the seal?

 

Woot! Glad it was #5 and not one of the rear ones that are practically under the firewall.

 

To fix that seal you pull the trans not an fun job but its better than paying to have it done
