Cylinder contribution test

My son's 1997 F-150 4.6 has an intermittent miss, mostly under heavier throttle. Been running fine, started missing a couple of days ago. I have Autoenginuity with the Ford bundle. Is a cyl contribution test possible? Throwing no codes.

Can it access Mode 6 data? The misfire history is stored there.

Thanks for the reply 70f100longbed. I don't know, I will have to check. I'm trying to figure out why no CEL is coming on, unless the system is too old and unsophisticated to do that.

CEL won’t come on unless the misfire exceeds a specific threshold.

AE should be able to display mode $6 data.
