Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks, leading to decreased braking performance.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause a spongy brake pedal feel.

Overheating engine

V-shaped engines with high horsepower can be prone to overheating, especially if the cooling system is not maintained.

Ignition coil failure

Fuel injector issues

Engines with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems can suffer from clogged or faulty fuel injectors.

Faulty egr valve

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can become clogged or malfunction, causing poor engine performance.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain in V10 engines can stretch or wear out, leading to timing issues and potential engine damage.

Exhaust manifold cracks

Ford V10 engines are known for developing cracks in the exhaust manifolds, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Transmission problems

The E-350 model is known to have issues with its automatic transmission, including slipping gears and delayed shifting.

Sensor failures

Various engine sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAF sensor) can fail or give inaccurate readings, affecting engine performance.
