2000 FORD F150. BLEW NO. 3 SPARK WHILE DRIVING. IT BLEW AT PARTIAL THROTTLE, 45 MPH. TRUCK HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN ON ANY OTHER CAR I EVER OWNED. COME TO FIND OUT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM ON TRITON V-8 ENGINES. I'VE OWNED CARS WITH ALUMINUM HEADS BEFORE SO FOR FORD TO CLAIM ITS A TORQUING PROBLEM AND THE FAULT OF THE OWNER IS DISGRACEFUL TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAINTAIN THEIR OWN CARS. FORTUNATELY THE FIRE WAS ONLY TEMPORARY AND WENT OUT WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK AND KILLED THE ENGINE, BUT THERE OBVIOUSLY HAD BEEN A FIRE AT SOME POINT. THIS IS THE SAME TRUCK THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED ONCE, STILL HAVE A BURN MARK ON THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR FROM WHERE IT ALMOST BURST INTO FLAMES IN MY DRIVEWAY ONE DAY, THANK GOD I JUST SO HAPPENED TO HAVE THE HOOD UP TO REPLACE MY COOLANT WHEN IT HAPPENED, OR THE WHOLE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BURNT DOWN, I MANAGED TO PULL THE FUSE BEFORE IT DID, BUT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN ON TOP OF THAT IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
