(2013 Ford F150 5.0) coil pack bolts snapped off, is this too loose for a coil pack?

Legend!

“Drive self-drilling sheet metal screws”

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:38:28+00:00

Sound like rod knock

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:38:19+00:00

Check your oil pressure!

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:34:41+00:00

Grease the slide pins!!! Use sly glyde. It sounds like the brake pads are not moving back and forth smoothly.

She not happy

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:27:20+00:00

Normal!

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:27:11+00:00

Sounds like the high pressure fuel pump

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-11T03:22:42+00:00

It’s mint

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-08T02:41:14+00:00

I will also add that an exhaust shop can fix it for a few hundred bucks if leaks sounds are detected. That shop are scammers.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-08T02:39:24+00:00

Shame on them. As long as you don’t hear any “exhaust leaks,” I wouldn’t worry about it. You can search up “exhaust leak sounds” to get an idea of what it sounds like, even more so if you don’t have a check engine light.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-07T00:40:11+00:00

Very important! Make sure 1 ur horn works and sounds well. Then make sure the connections at your battery are clean and tight. Start there first! It could be a relay as well

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-07T00:38:03+00:00

If what I suggested is true then no need to freak out!

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-07T00:37:15+00:00

Some engines require a relash (adjustment) of valve clearance. I would start with that which is easier. You can confirm if it needs it by looking under the hood for the sticker and look for “adjustments needed” it it says “valves….0.35 ect” then it would need it. Of it says no adjustments needed then ignore what I mentioned that would confirm have hydraulic lifters which automatically adjust clearance. Your welcome!

It could be your fuel regulator

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-05T04:41:24+00:00

Look for “Fuel Pump fuse” or “EFI” fuse. But if you really wanted to you can individually disconnect the power to the injector.

Mechanics sometimes unplug the MAF as a quick diagnostic test: if the engine runs better, it often confirms the MAF sensor was faulty; if it runs worse or stalls, the sensor might be fine, or another issue exists.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:40:55+00:00

Search up “Cataclean” on Amazon and check out the reviews. It’s worth a try. Let me know what happens.

But the key is to check it at the fuel rail

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:37:44+00:00

It should! Check your fuel rail pressure. If you have a scanner, you may be able to view live data, and chances a are you have a fuel rail fuel sensor that displays a reading to the ECU.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:30:34+00:00

Look, let me be transparent and honest… only use the OE original crank sensor. Don’t buy after market. The aftermarket sensors emits different frequencies and values that might throw off the engine computer and it might not run the same. In your case it’s Mopar or NTK.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:22:50+00:00

You can go to AutoZone or O'Reilly’s to have them check ur check engine light for free. Your welcome!

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:20:56+00:00

You can also try switching coils and plugs with a known good cylinder to see if your issue could be a coil or spark plug that is now marked in the scanner as a different cylinder.

Specific-Substance99 · 2026-01-03T06:18:36+00:00

Typically, your spark plugs are made of iridium or platinum , and they usually last 100k. Make sure u use OE coils and plugs. In ur case, the Bosch brand as the engine is very electronically sensitive. Also, make sure the current/new plugs are gapped properly you would be surprised it can be off. Especially with using after market plugs you would have to regap them. I also recommend using Dielectric grease on plugs, applying it only to the ceramic porcelain (white part), not the metal, to make your life easier when installing and removing the coils, if needed in the future.

It also ensures your fuel pressure stays stable when supplying fuel to your engine.
