Hello, My misfire is acting different than any other one I have checked on this forum. When I start it cold the engine shakes really bad in park, when I shift into gear and put a load on it the shaking is much less. when idling at a stop light there is just a little shaking but when I give it gas the engine has a very noticeable shake until it is up to about 30 mph then it seems to run ok and has normal power. If I put it in park when warm it shakes real bad again. I can hear pinging or unevenness in the right exhaust at this time. It has 136000 miles on it, had the plugs and wires replaced after the miss started, no CEL on, and the on board economy shows the same 10.1 miles to the gallon it has always shown. It has had the misfire 3 to 4 weeks now and seems to be getting worse, I don't see any abnormal white smoke or coolant smell from the exhaust. I'm really surprised with all the shaking that it hasn't tripped the CEL. I could use some help to determin the most logical order to perform diagnostics, other wise it's $140 to the Ford dealer to diagnose it.
