Engine Miss
Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this site and found it while looking up a missfire question. I have a miss at idle. I had the truck (2000 F-150 5.4) at Ford last week and they couldn't find what was wrong with it (no codes). Any suggestions other that O2 Sensors, fuel filter, plugs, coils, clean maf?

Drive it hard.
I recently tried to pull codes on mine because of a miss and there was nothing. I ran the code reader down to the autoparts store (10miles away) and I ran the truck hard, took it out of overdrive and let the RPM's sit at about 3000 on the interstate. Just as I pulled into the autoparts store the SES light came on. Pulled the code and it fixed the problem. My SES light would not come on when driving normal. It may be a coincedence, but it works for me.
