The engine lopes while driving, won't go over thirty-five MPH, that's when it starts shaking and bucking, runs fine at lower speeds (no bucking) just loping. Most everything under hood (sensors) has been replaced or looked at. Get 654 and 452 OBDI codes.

Okay, I'll do that as, my muffler man, said drivers side had a miss, I've change wires and plugs plus new distributor. Still with all that's been done, I suspect the PCM, or fuel injection computer Ox sensor idle air control valve stuck open. I have a Ford code reader and book.

To see which cylinder is misfiring you can use a temperature gun on the exhaust manifolds to see which cylinder is running cold, then check the fuel injector pulse.

and then see if the cylinder is getting spark.
