- 2007 Explorer Eddie Bauer
I'm driving a 2007 Eddie Bauer with 414,000 miles on it. It has been a company car with regular maintenance and mostly interstate use. It's really in great shape for the miles.
So it started missing really badly and I went and got the code checked at o'riellys. Cylinder 8 misfire and both banks running lean. So I went ahead and changed all the plugs. Then, the engine starting misfireing worse! It happens mostly when I'm accelerating, it shudders and I have to lay on the pedal to shift down a gear before it will getyup. A friend showed me his personally owed obd2 scanner, which I liked the idea, so I went and bought one too. So I checked the code and now it is cylinder 6 and only bank 2 is running lean. I moved the coils around, and the problem didn't follow. It stayed on cylinder 6. I went ahead and changed out all of the coils with new ones, and( as you could have guessed) still misfires in cylinder 6.(not that I really expected a change). I listened to the fuel injector with a screw driver, and it's definitely working. The only thing is it could be clogged up. Do I have any other options before I need to swap injectors or just clean them all with carb cleaner? Could it be anything else?
Thanks guys!!
