I just bought my 99 F250 V10 today of Facebook market place and get home with it and wouldn't ya know it started loping. Found this video, ran back outside and sure enough that PCV elbow was dry rotted. Thank you so much for this video you boosted my confidence and saved me a visit with the stealership! Cheers to you sir!
Thanks so much for this video. We have a 2000 F250 V10 that has had this issue for the last couple of years. We were dreading taking it in for fear of the possibility of a $2000.00 repair bill. My husband checked this out and sure enough the part was cracked. He went to the ford dealer for the part, been discontinued. They told him to try NAPA. He went there and they had the part (PCV end assembly 630-1671) in stock. $12.71 fixed the truck.Thanks again!
I've been a Chevy man for 30 years. 3 months ago I found a 2001 F250 Super Duty XLT V10 4X4 with 136K miles for a great price that I couldn't pass up. I have a lot to learn about Fords. When I replaced the spark plugs I couldn't believe some one had put Autolite plugs in it and they were gaped at half of what they shoulda been. I installed Motorcraft plugs. Motor runs much better now. I also replaced the rear diff fluid...It was way past it's fluid change interval. I am going to tackle changing the front diff fluid very soon. Over all I like this Ford. That V10 shore has a ton power! I've had to rust proof the under carriage also. On a quiet night you can hear Ford trucks rusting ya know. lol. Great video sir, good information, I will check mine today.
I can’t believe after all this time owing this does E350 super duty RV. And going through mechanic after mechanic performing all kinds of leak down test and vacuumed test. It was the elbow you described under my throttlebody. Buried way under. Thank you thank you so much. Just fixed it. Never sounded so good. Heck of a lot of work to get to and can now see why they kept missing it. You saved me so much money
I used to sell autoparts years ago. I recognize that hose. Go to the parts store and ask for a waterpump bypass hose for a 1976 f150, 302 engine. It will be the exact hose he used. Gates hose number 20662
My 2000 F250 V10 just blew out another spark plug for #2. I put a helicoil, new plug and coil in and it wouldn't run. Came inside to research it and saw your video! When the plug blew out it knocked the hose off . I never would have seen that connection back in their. Saved me about 250$ and a lot of time. Awesome!!
You are THE MAN! Tell your son that you have graduated into the 1990s! I also had to fight that hose, but it fixed my truck! Now I am going to watch the rest of your videos. Thanks!
I just bought my 99 and I was told that it was 4 of the spark plugs. I think Im gonna look at this before going any further. Thank you for schooling me today. My V10 is something new for me. Give me back the 60's and 70's and I am a happy man.
You are a thousand percent right and you can hear a hissing sound that hissing sound is when you have the hood up and you have your face in the engine looking to listen for the hissing sound I tried to fix mine with clear silicone caulk which worked for awhile
This was it!!! For two years I’ve worked on a farm and we have a F-450 V10 service truck. Thing ran like poop. It is our main truck and it was just getting worse over the years and no one could figure it out. This video helped a ton! I checked the hose and it had a hole. So I did some farm hackery and she runs like a top again.
I just subscribed and thank you for the video. I have 1999 F250 V10 SUPER DUTY that I purchased just before 9/11. I must admit that V10 has so many anomalies and quirks and not being a ford mechanic causes me many hours of internet, parts stores and other nomadic avenues of research. Because of people like you who post worthwhile and very helpful videos, I have managed to repair most issues myself. I will be changing my oil today 20MAY18 and will conduct a check of that commonly afflicted area as preventive maintenance. Thank you again Sir.
Thank you so very much we need more people like you to save people like us hard working people from given up our first born to the dealership's. Thank You Sir.
Great Video , I can relate to " if you can't work on and fix it , you don't drive it " I grew up in the 70's the same way . You made my 1999 F250 V-10 and myself very happy that I found your video , fixed it in about 10 minutes after fighting with it for a couple weeks , Thanks !!!!
Buddy. I owe you a beer. Was all set up to tow my F-250 in to my buddy’s shop on Monday to troubleshoot the issue. Watched your video. Found the hose in question connecting to the valve cover. Taped it up with electrical tape and boom. She fires up and stay lit. Just need to replace that hose. You da man.
I've been chasing issues with running rough on my 2000 excursion V10. In replacing coils, I had seen the pcv hose was very dry rotted. Got a new pcv valve from O'Reilly along with a 11/32 crankcase hose. So far seems to be a good roadside fix til I can get the actual part from the dealer Difficult part is 99/00 has a heated pcv valve
Very good video doingitcheap as a technician here in Canada this is a very common fault and easy to fix. For the most part you can almost hear the leak if it's bad enough or sweep over the engine with a stethoscope. As far as diagnosing goes this is a very easy find intakes are another issue as well, using the short&long term fuel trims can also point in the direction of what it could be.
I replaced all my PCV hoses using STRAIGHT PCV HOSE sold in a 2 meter pack at auto parts store & used hardware store HOSE CONNECTORS for FUEL & OIL TRANSFER which are HIGH IMPACT PLASTIC & come in straight, 90 deg elbow & t-piece fitting.
I was going to change my spark plugs on my E350 van to solve this problem, which would have been a nightmare! But I saw your video while looking on youtube for instructions on how to remove the spark plugs. I took off the air cleaner, removed the accelerator/cruise control cable bracket and found that elbow. Pulled it off, and sure enough, it was cracked! You saved the day!! Only took me about 10 minutes!
Glad you got your truck fixed. Its amazing what a vacuum leak will do on these newer vehicles. It can mess with so many things. On the old ones it might miss a little but that was about it...unless it was a huge leak.....then you knew from all the hissing going on. I had the same thing happen to me on a ford escape. Elbow on the pcv valve split right in the bend. Problem was that it was at the back of the engine between the engine and firewall. I just about gave up on that one...LOL
THANK YOU THANK YOU , my v-10 would not even idle i had to hold brake and gas at redlights to keep it running...looked under truck and catalytic converter was glowing red so i cut it off thinking it was a clogged cat but didnt help...i watched your video and popped my hood and hose was completely disconnected..i hooked it up and truck runs perfect except very loud now without the cat so thats my next fix.....again thank you for sharing
THANK YOU! Just replaced EGR and EGR solenoid thinking that was the issue (in all fairness, it did spit out EGR codes a short while ago), but I never thought to follow the PCV line. Found it was rotted away just under the TB. THANKS again!
Helped a lot! My fathers exursion would idle roughly. I replaced the vacuum hose, which was dry rotted on closer inspection, and the PCV valve just to be safe. Worked like a charm! Thanks so much!
So glad I found this video because after I watched it I checked my hose and it was all busted up. So instead of working all afternoon it only took a few minutes to fix my misfire
I have 2000 F-250 4X4 6.8 V 10...180000 miles on it . No engine or transmission issues . Fuel pump and gauge only issues, those in the confuser. Great truck. Thanks for the tip.
I've watched 100 youtube videos trying to find the problem with my 2000 F250 V10 and it's incredibly rough idle. You're video saved me hundreds of dollars. An $14 hose from O'Riellys fixed the problem immediately.
This was amazing! Nice intro to show what the symptoms were, and showed the problem with no shenanigans and went straight to the point. You just earned yourself a subscriber.
I'm only 48. but I agree with you about the old cars. I had dusters with slant 6 engines and could replace anything in minutes. even an alternator in 15 min. I miss those days. great video
Thanks for the video! I’ll check my pcv connections on my hiccuping, stumbling, no get up and go on hills Triton v10 on my MOTORCOACH! Just subscribed too!
Going though this now. Truck has been to the Ford Garage twice and they can find anything wrong. Runs okay but will stall out at idle if it is in gear. Going to check this out. Thank you for posting this.
I was having the same idling problem. I changed the fuel filter. I cleaned the air sensors. I checked and all the vacuum lines were hooked up. Nothing seemed wrong. I was about to make an appointment to take it to the mechanic when I saw your video. I couldn't feel anything amiss, but just to be sure I sprayed a small amount of starting fluid in that area. The engine immediately revved up. I knew I had found the problem. I found a preformed water hose at the parts shop and my V10 is back on the road. Thanks for the advice.
Hello I just wanted to say thank you so much for your video as it was the exact problem I was having. I had to make shift it for now I just took it strait out and hooked a different hose to it and she is working great. I might even get around to buying a new part for it but for now it is working. Next I will replace the transmission oil and hope that cures it from jumping back into 2nd gear as I drive but lately that is not happing even though it is warmer. Then if that is good I will replace the rotors and I might even have a truck my wife would drive again and I can tow our trailer. Well if you ever are up in BC you can stop by we have lots of room.

Hey- Thanks for the fix-it tip. I had the exact same problem, I was ready to change fuel filter and start testing the coil packs. Took me a short time to tape it up and put it back, now I will locate and replace the part. Thanks Again - Jim
Just bought a 99 250 V10 2 days ago w/137,000 mi. My first V10, and don't know what to expect but i'm hoping for the best. I subscribed to your channel today and will be following along for all the good advise and experience to help me along the way that you and your subscribers are good enough to share.
I had an old Ford pu back in the 80's and had the same thing with the PCV hose....when you first mentioned your issues on this video - I thought to myself yep PCV problem.
Thanks for the video and a very helpful bit of information. I just picked up a 99 f250 v10 and it has a slight mis at low rpms but on the road or freeway you cant even tell. I will definitely check this out and thanks again sir.
Just bought a 1999 F350 that is doing what you described. The guy couldn't figure it out and I haven't really had to much time to spend on looking at it. This gives me something to look at and see if it was a well spent $900.
Finally took the time to look my 900 dollar SRW F350 Superduty V10 Triton over and this was not the problem. It was an easy fix however, the guy replaced the battery cable ends and he didn't tighten the 2 bolts that holds the positive cable into the new battery end. I never would have guessed that that would have made the truck miss so bad at idle but smoothed out at higher RPMS. Just thought I would share my fix to give someone else the idea to check their battery connections.
Sometimes I will take a piece of rubber hose and use it like a stethoscope. One end at my ear and then poke around with the other end listening for a hissing sound.
Hello thanks Sir... My 98 E350 van was running like crap .wouldn't stay running and if it did ran like Crap.Low and behold it was the hose on the PCV Valve it was just dry rotted..THANKS for your Video my friend
Great guy I wish all RU-vid videos were like that. thanks for the help I appreciate it. I have a 2000 E450 Ford motorhome it was doing the same thing. thanks
Yes yes yes Sr it did help me your vid it takes a lot of courage and a real Godly man Humble to say it like you did God blessed you and your family I have been having trouble with my Ford Expedition 2003 since the first day I bought it in the dealer but is long story one day when we are in heaven soon I will tell you The Whole story but I am trying to learn and figure out what can be making my truck go misfiring so bad in the last month but I will have those hoses replaced and I will keep you posted Sr thank you again so much for taking the time make this vid.
Thank you saved a a lot of time and money. My hoses were good I have an E350 Super Duty Van found the hose on the back of the throttle body had come loose. Pulled it apart cleaned everything PCV and TPS sensor sense I had it apart runs like a brand new again. If you are ever in Pueblo look me up Lunch is on me
Hey, thanks for putting this up, I'm just about to buy a used V10 and am rooting around for problem fixes, cause I don't know the complete history of this vehicle. I'm sure this info will come in handy.
That's way to fancy for me. I like my old 38 Plymouth motor. It looks like s box with six spark plugs sticking out the top. Happy Birthday my friend and many more.
I was pretty scared cuz I thought it could be the spark plug and I've heard that those V10 have a huge default with their spark plug, so it make me a little less worried
You wouldn't believe how many people have found this to be the problem over several different engines and year models !! Thank you for subscribing to my channel. I appreciate you !
A friend of mine had the same problem.in the winter.crazy enough frost was causing water to run down the number ten wire and crack the spark plug . just a little info if you have any problems.thank you for your time and great videos.
Done two of em on Fords like these, can feal the 90 degree fitting, used a wash machine hose chunk of tubing. .And two other Ford cars of my own. one was a Mazda with ford Engine. Its the Ethenal.
This was the fix for my ‘01 e350. The connection into the intake was almost impossible to get at but the elbow had 2 holes in it and now it runs smooth as silk
Im going to check this out first thing in the morning. my truck just started doing this. I wasn't sure where to start. Hopefully this will fix the issue.
Excellent video. For my information, you told us the make and model, but not the year, a common oversight on a lot of vids I watch. Just wondering what the fuel trims were like. And thanks for the upbeat signoff. My first wife used to have the same one. Have a good day and a better tomorrow! RIP Sue. 1956-2004 I still love you sweetie.
I got a '02 E350 with the V10 (210k miles) and it's missing a couple of beats at idle but runs fine otherwise. A bit of injector cleaner made it better but I'm going to check this. Thx.
