Guled22 said:ok another quick update, just threw a code and now it says cylinder 1 misfire. so since I switched the coil packs would that be the reason since the misfire moved?
svttech76 said:yeah.. the coil pack is your problem then.. I just looked at the diagram.. what was number 4 is where the number 1 wire will go when you swap them so replace that coilpack and your car should be fixed..
Be sure to update us on this..

Pretty sweet to have a Ford tech on the boards to help everyone out.
Guled22 said:cool, i just got two new duralast ones from autozone. i drove the car down the street earlier, and had it idle for about 20 mins do you think fuel got into the fresh oil? and do you think the cylinder 1 got fuel wash too?

Guled22 said:I know huh, he just saved me $1500 in debt. but all jokes aside thank you for all your help man i really appreciate it.
Guled22 said:i have the new coils in, and it runs smoother than the day i first bought it lol. I highly doubt its going to throw a code because its running so smooth. So yea thanks again man, I was so close to having the engine rebuilt for no reason.
COramprat said:I just went through the same thing (No 6 misfire.) with my Expedition. I swapped plugs and wire and seems to have taken care of the problem. Of course the misfire has been there a while so I'm hoping it stays right. Good info here if I have to run down a gremlin. With 196K miles I don't expect much but this thing still runs pretty good.
CanadaStang said:It makes me wonder what the mechanics you took your car to actually tested. As I said previously, the compression on the cylinder in question would have to be very very low in order to be too low not to fire. If they would have at least discovered the coil pak issue [an ignition test should have been one of the very first things to perform] and then still could not have been able get that cylinder to fire, then at least one could perhaps blame fuel wash but they didn't even know there was a problem with the coil pak.
That is precisely why I had suggested checking that cylinder for compression, if it was less than 50psi then there would be no point in checking anything else, if it was less than the others but still acceptable, then the problem is with the ignition and fuel wash is causing the lower compression.
Not to mention the 1500 smakers they collect.svttech76 said:I agree 100 percent. I can't speak for the rebuilding and machine shops but there is a lot of morons and hacks in general repair both at the dealers and the private shops. Many techs just don't have the skill or don't care to spend the time.
