Well from what i have done to my 87 f150 inline 6 i have run my codes many of times and iam pretty darn sure that 3 flashes with KOER means Engine ID code

2 flashes-4 cylinders
3 flashes-6 cylinders
4 flashes-8 cylinders

Check your (IAC) Idle Air Controle valve
check Timing

When was the last time new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor have been installed? Make sure your wires are routed properly as well.

Any one of these can cause this... if replacing these does not improve things, replace your fuel filter, check your timing and check the voltage on your TPS from idle to WOT.

Thats a start...

Hope this sends you in the right direction!

Mike

Depending on your driving habits and/or quality of replacement parts.... I'm afraid to say that the February check does not omit these as potential issues. Again, make sure the wires are routed correctly. That may be the cheapest fix.

All you need is one poor performing wire and/or plug to duplicate these running issues. Especially since your KOEO and CM engine codes checked out fine.

Clogged fuel injectors and a bad fuel filter could be a culprit as well. Run some seafoam and a fuel injection cleaner on a 1/4 tank (or less) through the system AFTER you replace the plugs and wires.

If you don't want to replace the cap and rotor... you can always freshen up the contacts with a file. When car parts were months away in the mail in BFE Alaska, that's how we did tune ups! Clean off the plugs, cap and rotor and pray the wires were ok!
