P.s not bad for a hair lip...jk! ty.

Its approx a 3 hr job total

Did you have to get it flashed or whatever or was it just plug and play and ran fine after you simply put in another pcm? Having the same issue. Also, what did you gap your plug at?

@@kevinearles1 You can usually buy a preflashed pcm. They'll ask your exact mileage and vin number, because the ignition timing will become a hair different with an aging engine and a reputable rebuild place will data correct it in the flash. Don't remember the plug gap offhand. New plugs are normally pregaped nowadays, but you can always do an internet search for just about any spec for just about any vehicle. One thing I hasten to add. It was spitting out codes pointing to a possible bad pcm.

@@MrAquinas1 appreciate the fast reply. Mine showed code p0303. I put a new plug and coil in and it ran good for like 30 seconds and then started running horrible

@@kevinearles1 Another point. You have to get the PCM to recognize your keys. There is a procedure. I did this seven years ago. I don't remember if instructions came with the PCM, or my mechanic advised me how to do it. I'm into my senior years. I used to do all my own work, but now I can only do work that doesn't require crawling under.

@@kevinearles1 One more point. To get the warranty coverage on the PCM, they required that I change all the plugs and coils and keep the receipts.

Yes that is a good idea, in this particular case the customer wanted the 3 known good coils in the front swapped to the back and just replace the failed one. But yes if you are already back there, wouldn't be a bad idea

It could still be the pcm. When I had what definitely proved to be the pcm, the misfire was very intermittent. At times the engine ran fine for a couple of minutes, then would misfire again for a minute, run smooth for another minute, then misfire again, etc. That's the way flakey electronics can be, the weak point on these pcms are what is generally the weak point on electronic boards most frequently with substandard design: second rate capacitors. When the dielectic dries out between the plates of the capacitor, it's no longer doing its job. I think they had a recall that covered vehicles with less than 80.000 miles. I don't know if it's still in effect. I had 82 thousand when mine went bad.

Check the fuel injectors

@@AdrianodePaula2 thank you

My Ford 500 limited is doing the same thing.

Did you ever find the problem? I have the exact issue as you did. I’ve checked/cleaned or replaced spark plugs, coils, injectors, fuel pump, egr, pcv, maf, iacv, vacuum leaks, even replaced the catalytic converter. No engine codes at all. Runs normal at idle, but if the AC is on it will misfire at idle randomly. At highway speeds it misfires and shakes the vehicle if I’m in a high gear/low revs. Not as bad at higher RPM so is worse under load. Running out of ideas and almost ready to sell the thing hahaha 2005 ford escape 3.0 V6

I don't believe this one had misfire codes either

I would check what codes are stored in the engine computer. I would also Check for vacuum leaks and plugs/coils

@@FixItPhillip definitely will get on that, thank you so much! And hope all is well, thank you for the videos you share with us!!
