Thank you! My 04 started idling rough the other day, and the valves were clanging too. Took it to Ford dealer, and guess what they said? "You need a new engine, and converters on both sides. $8600." Something didn't sound right to me, so I started investigating and found you. While I am no mechanic, I did find one who agrees this issue is NOT a bad engine, and I am gonna have him watch this video because this is exactly what my truck is doing. Again, thank you!!

I've had many 5.4 engines, mainly in Navigators but I always would trade them at around 60,000 or so miles. My current one has 174,000 miles and everything you described was happening to mine. Very rough idle at times, loss of power at highways speeds. You could raise the rpm in traffic to around 2,500 rpm and it was idle normally for a while. This told me it probably wasn't the phasers but rather the vct solenoids. I took your advice and unplugged both vct solenoids and went for a thirty mile drive. It was so nice to have a smooth running Navigator again. I had already ordered the vct solenoids and plan to swap them out this Sunday, I also had replaced both camshaft sensors. You are without a doubt the 5.4 king on youtube and I will be buying some merch just to support you. Thank you so much for this video!

I work in an auto repair shop. A few months ago, a customer showed up with a F 150 he had recently bought, for an oil change. He also wanted a scan for the check engine light. Long story short, the used car dealer had disconnected the two solenoids and put the connectors back on the solenoids without clicking them. To the untrained eye, it looked like they were fully in. As soon as I plugged them in fully, boom! Timing issues. The dealer KNEW about the problem and hid it. Talk about unscrupulous...Of course, the customer went to see them, and they had to pay for the full timing repair, or else take a trip to court. Just goes to show, before buying, have it inspected!!

07 5.4 at 250k miles here. I can confirm this worked for me. I just got recommended a new engine by a tech, he said a timing job on my mileage is not advised. It's a super crew 6.5 bed, and little rust, so if I can just drive it without an over retarded phaser, well that's better than my other option. I don't plan on replacing the selenoid because i don't want to remove the valve cover. Btw it is only bank 2, bank 1 is still plugged in because I'm too lazy to move the power steering bracket to access it, and my original problem of stalling plus misfire of cylinder 5 and 7, among other codes was all for bank 2. I can also confirm I changed the oil the day before I had this problem. Been using motorcraft 520 and filters since I bought it.

I'm pretty sure the plethora of phantom misfires and burnt up phasers, cats clogging up, can all be blamed on the lack of oil pressure from the stock oil pump.

Recently it started hesitating on accelerating and last week it began stalling at stops and dying after restarting the motor shifting to reverse it would knock and clatter but not in drive.

My truck did this a while back(a couple of months ago), so I took it to a Ford dealership to have they figure out what was causing it. They had it for about a week and could not reproduce the issue and there were no codes in the CPU for them to go on. It has only happened once or twice since then!

The past two days a slowly removed and replaced the original VTS from my 2009 Ford Expedition 5.4L. The real hassle was unhooking and moving to the side all the hoses and stuff blocking a quick removal of the valve covers. Per your advice I bought two brand new FORD VTS from Amazon. WOW the Expedition has quick power just like brand new and its burning less fuel. I have a valve cover gasket that did not seat well and I have to loosen all the valve cover bolts again and realign the gasket but hay thats simple enough considering.

I am glad I ran across this video. I have dealt with that for a while now and only have the one vehicle. At least I don't have to stop and restart. Until I can get it fixed. Thank you for the video. It helped out a lot. Where are you located? I would like to get that Rebuild for twenty two hundred

Hi Brian, Your videos are top notch however after seeing this one in particular I am so discouraged. We have an ‘05 F150 King Ranch that was doing this exact same thing as well as once it hit running temp or just moments prior to, it would develop a constant groaning power steering whine/whistle that would last until the motor would stall and die at which point the noise would bleed off for a split second even after the motor had completely stopped running. We took it to a guy who then diagnosed it as a torque converter locking up involuntarily as the issue. I picked it up from his shop and took it and replaced my torque converter only to have it do the same thing on start up. The truck would run beautifully at highway speed but whenever you slowed down in town or came to a stop sign it would start chattering and stall and die with the noise bleeding off after the motor was completely still. I seen one of your videos about the melting m360hv and bought one after speaking with other local mechanics whom suggested poor oil delivery as the culprit. Be all end all, during attempting to disassemble and replace the oil pump, I snapped 2 valve cover bolts off in the passenger side and 1 in driver’s so out came the motor. Upon removing the oil pan I found a small amount of metal in the bottom. Needless to say I have horrible luck so the motor went to the engine shop and will hopefully be like new very soon. Any ideas in regards to the power steering whistling like noise? I am also thinking that perhaps the VVT solenoid was big part to blame but literally just watched this particular video of yours. Thanks for all your knowledge and videos!

I'm having same issues. But I replaced everything that goes with the timing. Shop said oil pressure is 70psi. And left bank is lean. Any advice?

@FordTechMakuloco 04, 5.4 its. I had this problem ever since150k and driving still @298k. So if I change the vct solenoid will that help with the ticking or will it just continue with the diesel noise, as everyone thinks its a diesel engine?
