I have a 1999 ford f150 lariat , it just started to run rough out of the blue, like it had a bad mis in it, check engine light came on. when i have car in park you can barely feel it but when i put it in reverse or gear you can really feel it misfiring . rough idle at slow sppen but kind of gets better when the rpms get higher. could this be bad plugs or water in my gas? i used gumout jet cleaners beacuse it felt like maybe the injectors were getting dirty. please help lol

since you have a check engine light you should always have it checked it should lead you right to the problem. a random missfire and a single missfire has complete diff solutions.
