    2021 Ford F150 5.0 performance issues

    21 Ford F150 STX 5.0 issues.
    So I?m new here and I really need help resolving an issue with my F150. Heres what I got:

    2021 Ford F150, with headers, full catback exhaust, cold air and 93 e85 flex/race tune. Driving on 93, truck died, put some 87 octane in it that I had, wouldnt crank, codes showed number 6 cyclinder misfiring, brand new plugs, dies going below 2000-3000 rpms, honestly runs like complete sh*t now the fuel light has been on and wont go off, truck sounds and performs like complete garbage. I can crank it, put in drive and go and it won?t die. If i let it idle dies within 10-15s. Don?t hear any knocking or any sounds

    I was thinking fuel system but Im not expert by any means, so any reply helps!

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like some DoD problem. May not be tune related.

    Also could the tune have detected the 87 and mess the tune up or deactivate it?

    Assuming your tuner didn’t mess it up, a good f150 flex tune will learn octane and alcohol%. None of this learning will cause missing cylinders and codes thrown.
