Have they checked the catylatic converter? Fuel pump pressure? Also, does this have the 5.4L V8? If so, chances are the exhaust manifold bolts are breaking and causing a manifold leak. This is a common problem and not an easy one or cheap one to fix. If you can't get the bolts out, the head has to come off.
