Re: Ford auto mechanic?

That engine is Coil-on-plug and aluminum heads right? I'd check to make sure none of the coils have burned up and also that you haven't blown a spark plug out of the head. I've seen both happen on a 2002 F-150 with the 4.6.

How many miles on it?

Crankshaft or camshaft position sensor could be a possibility as well. Do you get a check engine light while cranking?

I'd check/clean the Idle Air Control as well.
