RookieShuddering hesitation when accelerating and very low power. Check engine light went on after a few weeks of this(flashing initially, then full on). when I let it idle for 30 minutes, the engine light went off completely, but still hesitates badly. Others have said just replace the spark plugs. They apparently break often on this vehicle and minimum cost is $450 before using the tool specially designed to remove broken plugs, which I'm told has meant a $1200 tune up for others. I should also mention that I bought the truck 5k miles ago from Suburban Ford in Sterling Heights, MI.

All of a sudden no power and my engine was backfiring. Had the computer checked and 3 ignition coils came up bad along with the oxygen sensor. No problems what so ever before this. Art Hill Ford quoted me $280.00/Ea to replace the sensors. WOW!! No Thanks. Checked on the part and they cost $40.00/ea plus you have to remove 1 screw to get the coil out. Takes about 5 min. per coil.
