Hey there.
Ive had my 2014 Expedition EL since it was new and I am just approaching 90,000 miles.
Twice in the past two years (maybe three years) when I would accelerate (hate to say, peddle to the metal) while merging uphill on a ramp, same spot both times, my car would not exceed about 35mph and the check engine would flash, putting me in limp mode practically for about 1 minute. Then it will drive normally and can’t replicate it. Light goes away but with a garage scanner there is a stored misfire code in cylinder 8. Not sure if this matters but I believe both times it was about sub 40F and the car was only about 3-5 minutes warmed up/running. As of now. No stores codes since I last cleared it.
I’m only about 7k miles away from the manufactures recommendation to replace all plugs (which I will replace with all new boots as well, bought from RockAuto- all Motorcraft brand).
My question is should I be concerned at all about cylinder 8 or the ignition coil? As mentioned, this hasn’t occurred since. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for the help!
