Sorry I should also add that the first time I had a cylinder contribution code on number 2 and misfire on 1 and 2. The second time I have misfires on 1 through 6 and cylinder contribution on 3,4 and 6

 

Santa Clause is something to believe. Fuel pressure is something to be measured.

Two things come to mind with your symptoms.

One - test fuel pressure at the test port on the secondary filter housing. It's low on the front of the housing and has an allen head plug in it. Yes, verify pressure at idle but the best way is during WOT while driving. A good pull accelerating through all the gears will make low pressure quite evident on a gauge. Low pressure could be the pump, primary filter/cap not fully seated, restrictions and of course air.

Two - yes, these injectors will suffer internal damage if subjected to continual low fuel pressure conditions. In fact, there is actually a "negative" fuel pressure condition created when fuel supply pressure is too low to charge the injectors and that is when the damage occurs. One thing that is not always easy to diagnose is an injector with a sticking delivery valve (pintle) that leaks combustion gasses into the injector, then the fuel rail displacing the fuel with combustion gasses, even to the point of emptying the secondary filter housing. The same thing can occur with a leaking compression seal - the metal gasket on the bottom of the injector. These concerns gradually worsen and may present only after the engine was warmed up to operating temperature to begin with. Especially the sticking delivery valve scenario. A power balance test with a visual display can be very helpful in identifying this as will the bubble or balloon test as Ford calls it. Power balance will usually show the injectors on one cylinder bank dropping out.

Installing a gauge to that port right now as we speak will hopefully be able to get you guys some numbers soon on fuel pressure, as of right now I would belive that I have enough pressure to keep it running at lower rpms but as I try to pump more fuel through it for some reason it just can’t get the fuel it needs, hoping it’s something simple but with my luck I’ll be chasing it for months. Is there any way to test the injectors without running a test on the scanner? All I can do with mine buzz test them unfortunately

 

Did you install the blue spring correctly? Was the seal in the plunger there? Get that gauge on there and do you hear the fuel pump kick on? How fast does the fuel bowl fill up? Any bubbles coming from the fuel bowl?

 

Less than 1/4 tank of fuel, if the pickup foot is broken and you will "suck air" -- also the broken parts can get sucked into the line and partially plug it - causing low flow in demand

Your gauge should tell the story, when you get operational
