Since first posted, my 2001 F150 has been in the shop 5 times for the 'Service Engine Soon' light coming on.
The first time it was 'repaired', it was supposedly due to a faulty EGR, which was replaced. The light came back on.
Then I was told it was because the solenoids(something to do witht he light/computer, etc) needed replaced. The light came back on.
Then the guy tells me that THEIR computer isn't communicating with my F150's onboard computer.
For the past 2 days, it has been at ANOTHER Ford dealership. NOW I'm told the computer is telling the service technicians that the engine is misfiring on 2 cylinders.
If I read my owner's manual correctly, the 'Service Engine Soon' light is supposed to FLASH when that happens. Mine has been in a constant 'ON'.
And I've put almost 1,600 miles on this engine AFTER being told 'It's probably not important.'?!?!?!
IF it HAS INDEED been misfiring all this time, WHAT DAMAGE could have conceivably been done to my truck's engine...and what SHOULD I do?
