Misfire on startup and while accelerating

Topic starter

Scotty,

I have a 2008 F150 with 4.2L engine with about 260K miles on it. I got a misfire code a couple months ago and replaced all the sparkplugs, wires, and coil pack. Recently, it started jerking while accelerating and I got a P0303 code detected for cylinder 3 misfire and a P0316-FF "misfire detected on startup". Any ideas what the problem could be? 

 

Thank you for the help!

Dan

Do a compression test on cylinder 3.  Check intake manifold for leaks.  Run some injector cleaner through it and do an Italian tune up.  Check the wiring to the #3 fuel injector for clean connection and corrosion.
