I instinctively thought that increasing the load, turning on the AC for example, would accent the problem but in truth it never seemed to make a difference, it did it the same regardless.
BTW, my check engine light never did come on either. I have had a battery light coming on intermittently for a couple yrs now that I haven't figured out. Doesn't seem to affect battery strength or life.
Good luck Rryder3 let me know if I can help.

I'm learning more than I ever thought I would about this truck. I must say that I am surprised that there wasn't a recall for this problem.
You've been a great help! Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you (wedo43 and alwaysfords2). Found that it was the # 7 coil that wasn't operating properly. Got the Ignition Coils off of ebay for $59.00 versus $90 ea from a dealer. My truck is riding fine now. Whew!!
Thanks again!

itself out. This year the same thing. I've turned it on and applyied mild amount of gas while cars in park, waited until the temperature raised then the car stalled on it's own after 5 minutes at idle. Any suggestions?
Did you ever figure this out. I have a 2003 Expedition too and I am so ready to just drive it off a cliff!
I am getting no codes, but when driving up hill have absolutely no power I am lucky if it stays above 30 on highway if it is going up the hill.
When just sitting there you can hear a miss in the idle.
I am so pissed at Ford as they only want money and still cant figure it out.
HELP ANYONE!!!
I am having this same issue with the 2003 Expedition, but am having absolutely NO LUCK
Help.

The intake manifold is made of plastic if you can believe it. It cracks over time and leaks coolant. The coolant and water evaporate when the engine gets hot and evaporates up ... right into the coil packs and plug boots. The engine has a cover over this area which just concentrates the evaporation into these components.
The 1st time I noticed a problem was after a heavy rain, again, moisture & condensation.
I had the manifold replaced for around $1400.00 only to have missing on various cylinders continue. After reading this forum, I bought some coil packs on eBay and replaced them myself. Problem solved. I just looked on ebay and you can buy a complete set for anywhere from $130.00 to $270.00
Good Luck, hope this helps.
I have been reading all possibilities, but still hoping to hear a miracle. I live in FL. It is rainy season. I changed the air filter and no change in behavior. Very frustrated!!!

This will be the 2nd time in 2 years that I am having to replace cats on this messed up ford! I am so sick of dumping money into this vehicle and Ford just says oh there is nothing wrong with these vehicles. YEAH RIGHT.
Also there was no warranty on it from the dealership. So what can I do?
I am so sick of this truck - I am ready just to let it go back.
cyl. # 8. diagnose: key on engine off X reading. when the engine is running it should be 5 p.s.i. less of your first reading.
Someone help ? Any ideas ?
Last summer my anti-rollover kept kicking on at random times and almost always when it rained. It would make my anti-lock brakes kick off and on and the anti-rollover light would kick on but only once did it throw a code.
Is any of this related or just two random occurrences? Any ideas on the issue I'm having today?
