Filled the tank. No help there. Check engine light actually turned on finally it had been off and misfiring for the last 10 miles of the tank (was super late when this started happening on my way home last night with no stations open).
Attached below in order cylinders 1,2,3,4 plugs. 2 and 3 clearly arent firing and seem to be coated in oil. the issue becomes why. also note that cylinder 3 has white pieces on the threads. not sure what it is. hopefully not engine shavings, but again theyre white not metallic. i'm not sure what to do. just change to the denso cold stepped plugs and hope for the best???
very helpful, thanks! lol :headbonk:
dont know what you want to hear. More than likely with the amount of oil on them you have bad rings letting the oil bypass or you had a tune that was LEAN LEAN LEAN and have now melted a hold in your pistons. I would guess, unless you have 300,000 miles on the engine that either A the tune was way too lean or B you tried reving it to the stratosphere and killed it.
I'd like to assume adam didnt overlean my tune. we went through several revisions and everything was working great until just a couple days ago when this happened.
I KNOW :'( I'm very concerned. Most likely going to go back to stock, uninstalling the accessport and bringing it in for warranty. scared.
If you aren't very familiar with the tests, I would do as you mentioned. Take it in and have Ford look at it. If you don't really understand the tests and do them wrong, the results will confuse more than answer. Anyway it's in bad shape and will need attention.
well nevertheless my brother would be doing the tests for me. hes certifried mechanic. im only decent with my hands cause i learn from him as i go.
Just for future reference,when ever the check light blinks thats warning u that u could be doing damage to your engine.Most likely lean condition causing convertor damage.Hope everything turns out ok brother,thats a bad feeling.
Thats one of the strange parts of it. The check engine light didnt come on while it was misfiring at all. I had to scan the DTC with the accessport in order to get anything. Once i had it parked is when it started blinking. I'm like "yeah thanks CEL, i noticed a while ago."
