Bone stock 5.0- white smoke, strong smell, choppy idle, and terrible mpgs

[htk084]

So when I first bought the car it ran great, no problems at all. Now only 2000 miles later the cold start is terrible, it smells so strong at idle always, and there's some faint white smoke out the back and it's 80 degrees here. If someone could PLEASE help me out I seriously would appreciate it.

Car is a 2012 5.0 bone stock with 7000 miles

pull #8 spark plug and do a compression test.

Stock with 7000 miles, I'd take it to the dealer and let them figure it out.

^^^ Pretty much. Their problem not yours

You bought the car used with 5000 miles then? Hopefully it wasn't tuned before......

Take it to the dealer

7,000 miles? I would just let the dealer handle this headache.

It sucks how this is the reality with buying used. You get misinformed thinking you bought a car that was supposedly stock and had a warranty, to find out you don't and end up buying someone else's problems that are no longer warranted due to being voided. Hope this isn't the case for the OP.

Sounds like bros with tunes and hurt motors are getting smart by trading in their babies to non ford dealers.

So no CEL at all? If not get creative, like make it rain down a spark plug hole and make it throw a code then go to the dealer
