Ive had a CEL come up for the P0430 code so for the past few days ive been trying to determine if I have a vaccum leak or something along those lines.. I read on here it could also be a bad coil/s... I just put in motorcraft coils and plugs last year but knowing the coil issues we have with our cars I went and did a power balance test on all 6 and they are all working.

I got the P0430 on torque pro and when I finally hooked it up to forscan I got a bunch of new codes.. I have taken pictures of each one..

Would the ignition/coil codes be there just because of the power balance test because I havent driven the car since the test? i dont really want to drive it at all until I figure out the p0430

My guess is that the P0430 is probably real, due to the misfires.
No, the KOER self test does not cause false misfire codes.

What brand were the plugs? Did you verify that all were set to 1.0mm exactly?
Did you check to see if water was getting to the coils?

Coils were fine during the balance test, plug wells are dry, hooked up forscan today after disconnecting every hose to and from intake manifold and air intake, one of the hoses were super dirty so i cleaned them up.

The coil codes were gone and so was the P0430 along with my CEL. I ran tests on 02 sensors and everything checked out good.

Motorcraft coils and motorcraft plugs about a year ago but only put maybe 10-12000 kms on them if that. I did gap the plugs to specs when I put them in, I cant remember the number off the top of my head.. I will be buying a set of back up coils pretty soon just to keep in my tool box.
