  1. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    Update… MY CAR HAS BEEN FIXED!!! I went to GTR High Performance in Rancho Cucamonga. I finally found a mechanic, Ricardo, that was willing to actually give their time and work through the issue. Not sure exactly what fixed the misfire as I did not do any AB testing. But here is a summary of...
  2. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    I have compiled a list of tasks for a mechanic from all of my posts. I have called a handful of mechanics in my area, but none of them are confident in finding the misfire issue or willing to take on the project. Still trying to find someone and calling around. Ultimately, I’m just trying to...
  3. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    This is essentially what the mechanic at upland ford was saying. He thinks some of the teeth are broken and the metal shavings is throwing off a sensor. However, people in this forum disagree since I can still drive the car fine and put the car into 2nd and 3rd gear.
  4. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    Are you half joking when saying this? My dad suggested that I just keep driving the car with the light on until something breaks. Since he doesn’t believe it to be an engine or transmission concern. I’m going to have to save up or learn how to take out my transmission. I guess it’s a cheap fix...
  5. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    I understand people in this forum are probably getting frustrated thinking I am stubborn - and maybe this is unintentionally true from me. I might need to just be more direct and just tell a mechanic to do xyz. But I keep going into the new mechanics giving some overview and trusting their...
  6. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    I bought the scanner and hooked it to my car while doing multiple pulls. I believe I sent you the reports but never heard back. Could you take a look at these?
  7. Final Attempt - Misfire Issue

    Hello fellow Mustang6g members. Posting this for one last final attempt for any advice for a P0300 random misfire issue before selling my car. I would really appreciate if only experienced members that have dealt with this issue / have the knowledge would comment to not stray away from the...
  8. Cracked Cylinders

    from the looks of the diag report from the first dealer, they did not perform a leak down test. just the compression
  9. Cracked Cylinders

    Can't find a trusted mechanic near me to perform the leak down. Was supposed to go to upland ford today but they said I'd have to leave the car and I had no ride back. Trying to get a leak down test done this weekend. Seems like every shop I call is backed up and im tied up during the weekdays.
  10. Cracked Cylinders

    An update on the situation. *Attached the dealership diagnostic. As many suggested, I pulled the car out from Galpin Ford. I took the car to Upland ford and they suggested I do a crank relearn - this unfortunately did not solve the issue. Drove the car mildly hard and all was fine. However...

  12. Update on Scored Cylinders

    @Inthehighdesert @11GT50 @Gen 6 Mach1 Here are the reports from my live scan diagnosis. Does this tell us anything?
  13. Update on Scored Cylinders

    Just bought a Bluetooth obd2 scanner. It had two codes. The P0300 random misfire and this code. I just cleared both codes. So I know drive the car and click the data recording button?
  14. Update on Scored Cylinders

    *last comment. It seemed like the conversation ended with us agreeing to disagree. I basically said I will not, not drive the car hard -- should I change the coils? He said I shouldn't change the spark plugs and drive the car normally.
  15. Update on Scored Cylinders

    Hi all - a quick update below I pulled the car from Galpin Ford after they couldn’t determine the cause of the P0300. They mentioned contaminated fuel but said their initial concern was a base engine issue and that the engine would need to be torn down. *noting that I added in iso heet to my...

  18. Cracked Cylinders

    Since it was a new to me car, I was “babying it”. Every start up, I waited for rpms to drop to 800/900. Didn’t go above 3k rpms till the engine oil said 190 degrees. I did however drive the car a little to test after the first check engine dissapeared on it own. When I hit the throttle hard...
  19. Cracked Cylinders

    So is it possible I caused the cylinder scoring under my ownership?
  20. Cracked Cylinders

    So is this a correct summary as I feel like I’m getting slightly conflicting responses here. Would be super helpful if someone could copy / paste my write up below and respond in red. _________________________________________________________________ ___ (1) Based on the initial photos, there...
