    Loud Whining Noise, Misfire

    I actually already did that. tried running it without the sensor and there was no more noise and no noticeable misfire. I called Ford looking for a replacement and right away the guy at the parts department knew my car was making noises, so obviously it's a pretty common problem

    Loud Whining Noise, Misfire

    Its the camshaft synchronizer. Took off the belt and ran the engine and the noise was still there, and I found someone that had the same problem as me and it turned out to be the cam synchronizer. Makes sense since the noise sounded like it was coming from the water pump and the synchronizer is...

    Loud Whining Noise, Misfire

    misfire prob! help

    I replaced the coil pack and wires. The car started running much better. It only missed every now and then. The SES light went away too. After letting the engine run for awhile, I tried driving it, and the misfire came back, almost as bad as before. It seems like maybe it's only missing on...

    misfire prob! help

    I have an 02 V6 that's misfiring on 3 cylinders: 1, 2, 6. I also have the same P0316 code (which IS misfiring on startup). I replaced the plugs, checked the MAF, and checked the oil. I haven't done anything to the wires yet, but I am having it analyzed tomorrow. Also, when the cylinders...
