ok first off, 2000 v8. ok my car has fallen to the usual coil problems but also does something that i have not seen anyone talk about. i was reading a while back about a tsb for random misfire at high rpm, and the fix was reflashin the pcm which i still havent gotten my hands on the thing to do it yet. sorry im rambling.
so heres the problem. at anytime i can recreate this if i hold the car in a gear and bring it above 3k and like stay above 3k the car will just drop a cylinder for like 5 mins or so then start running normally again. like i said i can keep doin it all day long when ever i want it does it every time... i dont think its coil related. i have junk coils i know that. ive been fightin off the 2 and 8 misfire for about 4 months now and still losing the battle.
yeah so before you tell me to put 8 coils in my car let me say that i dont have 450 bucks to buy them. im just really curious about this other misfire and its not fuel i have no injector problems according to fords handy dandy device.
and talkin about the usual coil problem, yeah ive put about 8 in it over the last year or so still wont go away and im ready to just sell the f-ing thing.
