I was able to clear up the O2 codes, replaced sensor. Still have the irregular idle along with an intermittent CEL for misfire on cylinder 1, misfire detected within 1st 1k revolutions? I'm going to look into changing COP and plug again.- Joshua Smith

Hi all. New to the forum. I have an 05’ 5.4L that I could use some advice on. To start, I have little to no mechanical abilities so dumb down answer if you can. I bought the truck with 163k on it Bought it with a CEL showing 02 sensor. Got it home and noticed after the first 600-1k miles the...- Joshua Smith
