This problem concerns a 24 valve ford engine.

After the car has warmed up, the engine begins to miss when idling. I don't notice it when traveling down the hi way.

I took it to a mechanic the other day but it was only a 2 mile drive to his garage and it didn't do it then.

However, after traveling several miles yesterday, each time I came to a stop, the engine missed.

I changed the fuel filter last week.

The check engine light does not come on.

Using a scan tools misfiring data can be monitored and then you can identify the missing cylinder if any
