- '02 XLT
Hi, I have a 2002 XLT 4.6 with over 220 k on the vehicle. I've noticed lately that my truck has a distinct shake at idle while in drive, not park or neutral. Also, the acceleration is poor. The check-engine light was on so I used my OBD-2 readout and discovered it was a cylinder 7 misfire. So I pulled the plugs and rubber ignition boots and replaced all of them. Still, there is no improvement. Also, when I did this, I noticed that cylinder 7's plug was covered in oil, which leads me to believe that it could be worn rings. Or should i just replace the coil. Please help!
