p0174, p0316, p0302,

02 f-150. Sisters truck. 100k+ miles. Number 3 Nasty plug. 3more bad. Replaced all plugs and reset codes. Prior codes for 3 and 2 misfire. Replaced all plug wires now down to Number 2 misfire and boy she stumbles. Coil pack bad? Injector bad? Replace what? First 1000rpm system too lean p0174.

Any info would be great. It looks like there are a few common problems to other posts too. Troy

Correction its a 4.2

Number 2 is sparking outside grounded
runs better when I pull the plug and dry it off
runs ok then starts to get wet you can see the engine get rough.

Spark coils going bad?

Sir, you have to slow down and relate what's happening in a more informative way.

Alright.
Replace spark plugs
Replaced wires
02-29 this morning replaced coil pack

Still stumbling but not as bad. Possible oil fouling the plug.
waiting for long distance test to burn out cylinder and see if she cleans up.
Will post findings

what I think. I think the valve seals are bad or the head is gooed up and allowing oil to pool up and not excape the head and is fouling the spark plug. Any input?
