I have a 2006 f150 5.4litre 4x4 130,000 miles, that started to have a slight miss on acceleration on occasion. Soon after this, the motor started to buck quite bad all of a sudden when under load. Its runs fine when idling. I took it into Ford dealership and put it on a scope. It came up as mutiple misfire on cylinders. Had all plugs changed, coil, gas filter and changed fuel. This did not solve problem. Rechecked on scope again and it came up #2 clyinder misfire. Checked plug and it looked very carboned up for a plug with only few miles on it. Checked other plugs and they looked Ok. Changed #2 plug again but still running bad. Put on scope again and nothing comes up now but fault on oil sensor. Would this have anything to do with misfire? Still running bad and costing big time as plugs had to be easyout on origonal change. Seems to be worse as goes through different gears on this automatic. Any advice would be appreciated as I am mistified and so is Ford dealership.

This might sounds stupid, but what is the oil level? Over full will cause problems.

THat engine should have been recalled for the spark plug problems. The plugs should have the updated ones in there and the coil boots should be replaced.

Has the cylinder #2 been compression tested?
