Might help if we had the correct information on your vehicle, I really don’t think you are chasing misfire codes on a 2025 Ford Explorer…That would be a factory warranty repair for the dealer to handle…

Give us the correct year, make, model, engine size, mileage and maybe even the 2wd or 4wd/awd…

Agree with above post.

Another thing that will cause a misfire (normally at idle) is vacuum leaks coming from a large vacuum hose or the intake manifold gasket.

Ford 4.6 and 5.4L intake manifold gaskets are made of plastic and are notorious for causing engine misfire conditions
