2001 Ford F150 misfire or vacuum leak?
Smells problem
2001 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 260,00 miles
Truck began to misfire, sputter while driving, idle really rough, loss hp. So i go to auto zone, they hook up the little tester, "misfire #7". I replaced the coil, problem solved. 2 weeks later, the same symtoms happen again. loss hp, shaking, idle rough, sputtering when i drive. so i go back to auto zone today to hook up the tester again. He said it read.."lean on 6,7,& 8. He told me i have a vacuum leak, not a bad coil. What do you suggest
