I have a 1995 ford f150 5.8 engine that feels like is misfiring?
As I have the truck on park or as I'm on a stop light the truck starts shaking. But it gets worse when I get up to speed the the truck runs fine till I need some more power then it starts shaking again. At times it feels like the transmission is going bad but I took it in and they told me that it was not that, but that it could be a bad ignition coil. What do you guys think? I cleaned the egr valve and it did not fix anything.
Did you set it to wumbo?
I don't quite understand what you are asking.
Geta spray bottle with water in it. Start the cold engine, and let it run for 30 seconds to a minute. Spray the water on the exhaust manifolds. Most exhaust ports will be sizzling hot, but 1 or 2 may not evaporate the water immediately. You need to check the plugs and wires for those cylinders. On a 5.8, if you had a bad coil, it's doubtful the engie would run roughly. It usually won't run at all, especiallty after being warmed up. Given that the truck is 19 years old, i would take an unlit propane torch and pass it around all the vacuum lines. If you find a vacuum leak, the propane will be drawn in and the idle wil smooth out.
- Why do some companies like Ford have a 5year warranty and others like Hyundai have a 10year warranty? Does the company with the longer warranty trust in their product longer? Or they know that the owner will have to do a ton of repairs and without a back up no one would ever buy them?
- If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang? Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?

- I have a 1995 ford Thunderbird lx that has a V8 engine. The engine overheats fast and I can't drive it far. What might be the problem? I can only go up the road a couple of miles before I have to turn the car off and check antifreeze. Because, The antifreeze drains when I drive far, now I use water instead of antifreeze.
