#1 of 3 Misfire in No. 3 cylinder by jeanettejlj Apr 01, 2009 (2:18 pm)
Can you help please? I have a 2 litre 2004 Tribute. 50,000 miles run on LPG. Going fine till last service then came back sluggish when cold. Put it down to winter. Now throwing up codes. O2 sensor changed last week. Now new code misfire in No.3 cylinder. Coil pack changed light back on within few miles. Any ideas?

Replying to: whiskeygurl (May 13, 2009 7:59 pm) I hope you fare better than me. Seems with mine it was the LPG running hotter than petrol she has burnt out the valves which were not hard enough to withstand the heat. Have a huge bill for repair about as much as car is worth! Running back to normal now so hope to keep her for another year or two. She is comfortable and on LPG not too bad to run. Good Luck with yours. Jeanette
