Rich, any update? My car just started doing this after my clutch install.

They took the valve cover off to inspect the motor and nothing, I spoke with the Ford tech yesterday and they told me that they are going to replace the o2 sensors and give that a try. I am not sure how 02 sensors would cause a check engine/misfire light. At this point I don't care what they try as long as they are trying to figure it out.Rich, any update?

If the car isnt receiving the right AF mixture it can and will. I had a tuned '11 that blew an o2 sensor and didnt throw a CEL. Randomly started misfiring.They took the valve cover off to inspect the motor and nothing, I spoke with the Ford tech yesterday and they told me that they are going to replace the o2 sensors and give that a try.

Ok, good to hear that something this simple could cause this issue.If the car isnt receiving the right AF mixture it can and will. I had a tuned '11 that blew an o2 sensor and didnt throw a CEL. Randomly started misfiring.
Eventually replaced the left hand side bank 1 sensor. Fixed it.
You need to do a crank relearn most likely.Rich, any update? My car just started doing this after my clutch install.
This is interesting. Was your car not getting the right AF mixture due to the tune? My car is back in the shop for intermittent CEL... again.If the car isnt receiving the right AF mixture it can and will. I had a tuned '11 that blew an o2 sensor and didnt throw a CEL. Randomly started misfiring.

Not sure. I didn't have anything to measure AF at the time; but promptly bought some AF pillar gauges and never had the problem again after some re routing.This is interesting. Was your car not getting the right AF mixture due to the tune? My car is back in the shop for intermittent CEL... again.
I have the same issues. Car has been in service more time than I have had it. Last time I saw it was July 8th. Ford has been zero help. The blamed Roush supercharger, which was installed by dealer by the book, supposedly not voiding warranty. But when time came Ford told me not their problem. And this is from Ford corporate. Shameful.It backfires under light acceleration.
Sorry to hear. My car went through 2 dealers. With assistance from Ford Performance and no one had a clue how to resolve. Now it's in Roush's lap but I lost hope. Now been at Roush for over a week. They confirmed there is misfiring but no resolution yet. It's a shame Ford does can't figure it out. I am sure we aren't the only ones.update, so the dealership replaced an o2 sensor and it did not fix the issue. I will finally get a loaner car on monday. I have been fighting for a loaner car since day one and It has been a while and I am finally going to be getting one. I would rather have my own car back. Ford needs to look into this issue, it seems that its starting to become a common issue.
I would push for a whole new block...instead of a new top-end.I was told last Friday they are going to replace the head on my car. I don't know how they came to that conclusion but we will see if this fixes it. I get it back tomorrow.
Dude, let us know how it came out. I was approved for a car rental finally. It's a joke they set me up with a Transit, ha ha a little mini van looking suv/van. its hideous. But it really helps having a second car again.I was told last Friday they are going to replace the head on my car. I don't know how they came to that conclusion but we will see if this fixes it.

I certainly will. Ford was nice enough to set me up with a rental too... a fusion. I immediately missed the power of my mustang.Dude, let us know how it came out.
