car problem question

[gixxerboy1]

I have a Lincoln with a 3.9 V8. It started running ruff and the engine light came on. I checked the code and it was "misfire cylinder 6" So i changed all the plugs, put a new coil on 6 and had the computer reset. The car ran smoother and is getting better MPG. The car still has a slight miss to it. The light came back on and I'm getting the same code "miss fire cylinder 6". I don't know what else to change that would cause a misfire on the same cylinder

You should probably ask an auto mechanic

I know there were a few on here. I was hoping to be able to fix it myself

I would google it. Go to a ford/lincoln forum and check. Those cars have a lot of sensors so......

Most likely many have had the same problem and you should be able to find a solution pretty fast.

Have you checked the giggerbooboo switch under the tityertit cog? If you switch it to the ramblooooop position the rumpypumpey will be good...

You might need to do a compression check. Goggle it.

I would say your car has had to many cycle of deca which is causing it to misfire that happened to me once after a deca cycle the no hardon light came on and I kept misfiring..up the cars pct and give it a couple of weeks and the light should go off and the misfire should be back to normal...hope this helps.

Are you getting lose of power ? This is normally a good sign theres compression issues.

Not sure how handy you are but this can easily be checked with the correct tools.

i used to build motors so i can check the compression. Power isn't really down. But it has an occasional miss to it

Had a cadi that acted like that and it was an 02 sensor. Didn't throw a misfire code though.
