So I bought a 2006 F150 stx reg cab with the 4.6l motor with 90k miles on it a few weeks ago. It was in really good condition and I couldn't pass the deal up. All in all, I love this truck. However at idle the truck is a bit rough. No check engine light, but a bit rough non the less. So I hooked up my obd2 torque app and I see I have anywhere between 6 and 60 total counted misfires, but none detected by individual cylinder. So I ran a scan and have a B1360 code without the CEL on. So I changed the plugs and coil packs and cleaned the k&n filer (non cold air filter, just a replacement k&n) and I still have all the symptoms and the b136p code. So I Google the b1360 code and there's very little on it. Basically says open circuit ignition. Any ideas? Thank you.
Any B-series DTC is going to be non-MIL since it's not related to emissions performance.
However, if your ignition system power is not stable, perhaps to a flaky power relay or other intermittent electrical connection, it *might* tie together your driveability symptoms with the DTC you read.
I'd start by checking/cleaning the contacts and female connections for the following: PCM Power Relay, PCM Power Diode, all fuses in that circuit. You might also swap the PCM Power Relay with another identical relay that is not critical to engine operation.
