There are root causes. It could be extended iding. It could be poor fuel quality. If you have clogged fuel filters and the fuel pressure drops the injectors suffer and you could have bad combustion. Similarly running with your air filter clogged can cause problems. Your injectors can suffer from poor oil condition as well.

Here is what I try to do meticulously:

Keep fuel, oil, and air filters properly maintained.

Use a synthetic 5W40 oil (helps prevent injector stiction) - change oil at 5k miles.

Re-route your ccv - stock system puts oil in the intake and is eventually burned. This can cause some coking.

Get the most recent flash from Ford - it has multiple benefits.

I use a good quality fuel additive (Stanadyne)
