2002 escape the scanner says misfire on6 cylinder?

Answer 1

Misfire on Cylinder 6 would mean replacing the spark plug (less than $5) or coil (about $80). Cylinder 6 is on the front. (easier to reach than #1, 2, and 3). This is usually just a bad plug, but could be due to water in your spark plug hole or in the gas. If it only happened one time, there is probably no need to worry unless it occurs again repeatedly. If so, you should troubleshoot your ignition system and perhaps the fuel injector for that cylinder. Keep in mind that since it only occured on cylinder #6, it would not be caused by anything that would effect the other cylinders, say for instance low voltage or a bad fuel pump. If A Coil Is Bad You Will Also Get An Overtemp Code. Along With The Misfire Code, almost never is this a bad plug unless someone just replaced their own plugs and have the gap messed up or the wrong plug in the engine.
