Compression test? No check engine light?
No comp test or check engin light
Do you know specifically which cylinder is misfiring?
That is the starting point
Like @mleich said, I would recommend doing a compression test, to rule out a base engine problem
I’m surprised your mechanic hasn’t considered a possible fuel problem. I’ve fixed plenty of misfires due to bad injectors. Some were plugged, others had an open circuit
4 is issue 2 of 6 plugs had issues Build up of carbon and other goodies on them. I plan on doing compression test first if good im gowing step back and punt this car as far as I can HAHAHAHA
Thanks CAM
Uh oh. A Ford 3.8 with a miss on cylinder #4 and slow coolant pressure test leak? I’d pull the #4 plug, if it has any sign of coolant contamination then leave the plug out, pressurize the cooling system and go to lunch. I’ll bet half an hour later there will be slight coolant in that cylinder.
