    Ok new problem

    Everytime it down pours rain, my truck runs like ****. I am getting codes P0303 and P0316. But when its not raining the truck runs awesome. Anyone having the same problem?

    not sure why you posted this in a chapter forum instead of tech...

    but it sounds like the pretty common issue of water running into the spark plug wells around the coils, especially the passenger side #3 area.

    Yeah, if the wiper cowl doesn't have the rubber on it (or if it is bad) to seal to the underside of the hood, water will run in the engine room and drop right on the coil packs.

    My 2000 F150 had that problem and I had to get another seal.
