I had a strange experience with my 1996 2.0L ââ?¬Ë?Tour on my way to work this morning. After making a brief stop to purchase a copy of the daily news paper all of a sudden the vehicle started to misfire badly, so bad that it triggered a CEL & I was forced to stop & switch the engine off. After a brief time I restarted the engine & to my surprise the miss disappeared. When I got home I connected my scan tool & it indicated that the CEL was triggered due to a misfire in #3 cylinder. I also notice that there is a distinctive miss when the vehicle is in park & idling, however, it idles fine in drive & when driven there is no noticeable problem. Finally from time to time I experience a very low RPM at idle 500 RPM instead of specified 750-800RPM. Any suggestions/solutions regarding these problems will be greatly appreciated.
