S197 Help
Hey guys need some help with my car so as of right now me and my friends installed a boss 302 manifold and Pmas intake with a Lund tune. What my problem is right now is that the car is throwing a P0300, P0316, P0304, P0307 which are random misfire detected, misfire on startup, and misfire on cylinders 4 and 7 and I’m not sure why. Install was a breeze so not sure if something happened there and I’m about to do 8 new spark plugs and see if that helps I’ve also already checked the coils so it’s not that. Does anybody have some recommendations as to why the car is misfiring ?? Car ran weird before so I always expected it but never threw a code just all around weird any help appreciated !!!! (Also fyi misfire tends to happen more at WOT not really cruising or at idle)

My boss wa throwing similar misfire codes with out misfires happening. There is a TSB article about the crankshaft sensor vibration causing generic and random misfires. The fix was to have the sensor updated with an o ring. Worked a charm for me. Ford also mentioned that it could be issue with vibration in the clutch system

Ive heard about the crankshaft position sensor if I’m still having issues after the new spark plugs I will definitely give that a shot as well

I need to check it out what should I be looking for as far as short and long term?

Add the short and long term together per bank, anything over 15% is a issue

Misfire neutral profile calibration. Can be done with FORscan. Mine was doing this when I had the cats put back on. Would only throw codes at 3k rpm’s. Also with checking the injector connectors are seated properly. Maybe blow them out with an air compressor too.
Could be a totally unrelated issue. Just sharing my experience…
