Check engine light and Shaking

Hello everyone,
I have a 2013 E350 with 113,00 miles on it. The check engine light came on 3 days ago and the vehicle started running like it didn't have any power while going below fifty mph. I pulled over and it was sharing
real bad. Has anyone had any such experience? Any suggestions?

You need to pull error codes. Sounds like misfire to me and yes of course it has happened to others.

If you don’t have a code reader, head over to your nearest auto parts store and they will pull it for free.

Check cam position sensor connectors and cam magnet connectors for signs of oil.

Hello everyone,
ok, here's the situation it looks like it's a bad fuel injector that is causing the problem. Is this hard to replace? It is in cylinder one.

You will need the proper tools and have to depressurize the fuel line. Maybe take it to an independent mechanic to verify and replace if you aren’t up to the task.

Thank you very much. Can they be changed individually or all have to be changed?

I suspect direct injectors require some specialty tools to replace, the fuel rail is under extremely high pressure compared with conventional port or manifold injection systems. I'd also be inclined to want to verify the wiring before replacing the injectors.

If it is a bad injector, you just replace the one. Like a bad coil, you replace the failed one and not every one.

How did you come to the conclusion it was the injectors? Did that solve the issue? I'm having a similar problem

The hard way. Changed all the coils and the check engine was still on. The scanner said fuel injector, Changed it and everything is great.

I'm not trying to hijack your thread but, I need help and why start another thread??

Was your code for specific cylinders or the whole bank?

I have P0304/5/6, changed coils and plugs and it definitely runs a lot better and burns less gas, but the money light is still on, so I'm trying to figure out what it's hungry for. I also have P0087, did you get that code? Someone told me I need a whole fuel pump but didn't tell me If I need the one in the tank or behind the engine. I put a thing of Liqui Moly gas system cleaner because, if it's going out, **** it. I can't tell if it's helping but I haven't driven or let the car run too much bc I dont want it to **** itself. Did you have to press the gas pedal to start your car? I have to.

How much did new injectors run you? Did you Diy, if so can you share the instructions?

It was coming up as a misfire in cylinder one. No, I did not have to press the gas pedal to start. The injector cost me about $150 and I had an independent shop do the job.

Do You have to code the injectors on these cars? I've had an indy shop come to the conclusion that I need a new Fuel injector.

They said I have to get my car because the injector needs to be coded. Is this true? what's the lowest level of tool that can code? Xentry, or do you need a star computer?

Are they just telling me that because they don't want to do the work?

Yes, preferably using MB Xentry.

You're the GOAT.

I've been researching since my last post, I see the MB Icarsoft 3.0 has injector coding capacity, we shall see.
