THE PROBLEM THAT'S CAUSING BLUCIFER TO MISFIRE!?

With my 2013 Mustang GT just bow starting to misfire I figured I would go and replace all the spark plugs that are currently in the car with a set of NGK spark plugs with hoping it would fix it but, did it actually fix the misfire?

I thought you said you did the new o2 sensors a month ago, my b, I figured they might’ve just burnt out again. If you just did them a few days ago they are probably fine, but on the other hand we have burnt brand new ones out in a couple days from womping on it too much.. had to get spacers to stop that from happening

[@JesusRivera-oe1jw]

Easy way to tell which cylinder is misfiring ls let it warm up for a couple minutes and get a laser thermal gun to each individual runner on the headers and the one misfiring is gonna be the coldest one.

[@hunterrantz5324]

Bro my mustang has been having problems for like 2 weeks now and I don’t know what to do it’s the speed domitor sometimes when I’m going 65 it shows I go like 30 and I still can’t figure it out

Hey derekbaranproductions I slick have a same problem with mine but not sure yet what’s wrong with it. It’s misfiring. The codes coming up are P0300 and P0308. Cylinder 8 is still pretty much new and the others I replaced this year on the driver side and the pass side replaced last year with rust on them any ideas??? 2008 mustang gt /cs 190k miles

[@s197rome9]

Question, is it smart for me to change my coilpack as a preventative maintenance? Or should i stay with stock ones since i dont feel anything weird on car yet

[@TheGreatFodiniGaming]

For coil packs, doesn't it throw a code usually? My newedge threw codes for em

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Thats what i thought

[@R0cketRed]

I'm getting misfire code p300 from changing my clutch flywheel and I reset the crank position sensor and it's still popping this code. Does anyone know if this is bc of the McLeod flywheel being not balanced and if I buy a new flywheel might thus solve the problem?

[@Mutedx0331]

Ayeee, been waiting on this video bro🔥💪🏾

[@backwoods5oh]

Seriously.... coil pack on the passenger side... bank 1 is the passenger side and your bank 1 o2 is reading a afr thats not right more than likely rich w the misfire

[@noahbolt]

^ This

[@brandondodson8515]

I'll say it again.. because u have the off road xpipe. The o2 sensors are fine, they are reading correctly. But in order to get them to stop throwing a code you need to put some o2 sensor spacers on there. It's cheap and easy to do man. Worth a try for sure.

[@stevendoom3]

I’ve had this same issue with my 2011 coyote since I got it 2 years ago misfires at idle but drives fine and doesn’t throw any codes

[@ozzy0611]

On my 2v i cleaned the IAC with brake clean it stopped missing. Also how much boost you running? Might have to close the gap a little on your plugs .

[@marshalldye2001]

Damn bro...... I hope you get the problem solved soon🔥‼️

[@josh4.673]

Step 1 take off the positive cable off the battery and let the car reset itself Step 2 it could be a fuel filter for a fuel pump Step 3 mass flow air sensor Step 4 put some dry heat liquid in the tank you may have water in it

[@bbhoustontx]

good suggestions.

[@lowboostedaccord4933]

hopefully it's just the coil pack bro keep up the great work brother 🙏

[@JoeZasada]

Those plugs didn't look too bad; you gotta check them with a gap measuring tool, and a multimeter. Conductive anti-seize is also a good thing. If the electrodes look degraded, then maybe they could be an issue... it also helps to gently clean them with some electrical contact cleaner to get a better look at them. The coil packs, you can use a multimeter to check them as well. If you get a code indicating a particular cylinder misfire, replacing the coil pack in question is a good step to take if the spark plug looks okay. make sure you apply dielectric grease appropriately. It could also be obstructed fuel injectors, and/or a ruptured intake manifold gasket (less likely given the recent blower install).

[@caliracing4158]

If it ain’t the coils might need a new tune or tuner

What is under that cover that your placing the spark old spark plugs ? 🤔 Do you have a episode for it ?

I put those same spark plugs and it didn’t take the misfires away the people at autozone told me the plugs were already gapped I had to take the car to the Ford dealership they put OEM spark plugs misfire went away

So basically you dont read your comments. Why not unplug the coil packs and test before you went a bought spark plugs like alot of people suggested. Gotta keep that content coming i guess.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

Its impossible to UNHOOK THE DAMN COIL PACKS WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING BECAUSE CYL 7 and 8 ARE COVERED BY THE INTAKE! INTAKE HAS TO STAY ON BECAUSE OF THE MAF SENSOR! I could barley get my hands in there with the intake OFF!

[@badshoeproductions]

A mismatch of o2 readings is not normally a concern unless it gets too wide. I think you showed a vent filter in an earlier post. Modern EEC systems with mass air are "closed systems" therefore any external air entering from a vent, loose dipstick, loose air intake clamp etc. can cause both less air going through the mass air sensor but less entering one of the banks (like a loose dipstick or valve cover vent). If it isn't missing on hard throttle, it probably not a coil since coils normally fail on load but when it to cars, all things are possible. Again, a Ford store has much more equipment to weed out these kind of problems. Be warned, unless you have a Technician friend at a dealership, they likely won't want to mess with a performance car they didn't setup.

[@thomasrouh2258]

I would have done coil packs or at least checked them before plugs....random misfire or a certain cylinder? You definitely need to go through the whole check list.....Could be something really simple like a Crankshaft position sensor....You're running boost....forget NGK and throw Ford performance colder plugs in.....What mods have you done just before the CEL? Clutch? You need to do a relearn on stock tune if so......

[@Suikakuji]

Orange on the plugs is from the boostane. Whats the wideband reading? Could be a failing pump or boostapump, You can rotate your coil packs, since you have the blower..move the coils that are hard to get to the front, after you've tested the coils on the front cylinders, could be vacuum leak, could be a sticking injector, could be a bad wire, would suggest pulling a log or 2 and looking it over and seeing whats going on with the fuel before driving it just incase, but it's hard to say without just doing some trial and error hopefully nothing internally. You should know enough people in the RVA area to give you a hand, if not I'm local and can help out.

[@ericpinkerton2252]

I’d do a comression first before I bought a set of coil packs just to make sure, kinda sounds like some unhappy valves now 😐

[@AB-coyote]

Wrong tool to gap Iridium plugs with. Need a proper feeler gauge.

[@DerekBaranProductions]

So the one i used didnt work?

[@AB-coyote]

It’s not that it won’t work but the iridium tips are easy to break off. They have feeler gauges that can adjust the gap without making contact with the firing tip. Hope you get the issue solved soon. Looking forward to the resolution video.

[@andrewbright628]

Uhhh did you gap the new plugs?

[@TheWonkax]

Andrew’s Garage he clearly stated that he gapped them to .028

[@miguelmurillo776]

Spark plugs or coil packs I’m sure almost certain

[@manleystang3532]

When I had a bad coil on my ‘12 gt it threw a code for the #1 cylinder misfiring in your case I believe it’s something else and not the coil packs a data log is probably the best bet to see what’s going on

[@josh4.673]

I wish you the best of luck bro keep making these good- videos

[@terrenceprice7356]

Yeah Bro I'm a Mechanic that owns a 2012 Mustang and yeah that's the 1st thing I'd would start out with spark plugs, the coils, injectors and mass air flow sensor.

[@joeslo4.6]

its like as soon as i get a misfire all these videos pop up in my feed lmao, im thinking either fuel filter or bad gas in my case because vp octane booster seems to clear it up

[@negativesplits06]

This might not be related Derek, but another key thing that will make your engine last a lot longer is to run e85. I know you guys may not have e85 gas stations near you, but pushing 700+whp on a stock Gen1 on pump gas/octane booster is not smart. A return style fuel system with some e85 will keep Blucifer running longer and less prone to detonation. 💪💯

[@bajabill8320]

Some OBDII scanners will tell you exactly how many times each cylinder has misfired in a recent time frame, I had a misfire which wasn't constant so it wasn't throwing a code, but I figured out which coil pack it was using a fancy scanner. I rented it from Autozone for free, just an idea

[@brandonsvoice3815]

Plugs looked like they were burning the perfect mixture, def think its a coil after seeing the old plugs. Usually plugs covered in all black carbon are fouled and brown means its getting the correct mixture. You'll get it bro, dont worry

I can't remember but do you have cams? It doesn't really sounds like it so im just wondering.

[@TheModAddict]

Stock cams

[@marcooo2412]

I would say do a compression test just to make sure one cylinder or bank is off from other cylinders, if there is an issue, you will have to do a cylinder leakage test to further diagnose where you are losing compression from if not, you can do a cylinder power balance test which will be hard with cylinder 7/8 but at least you can diagnose 1-6 first and see if you have any issues there. You can also check resistance between each coil pack to make sure you don’t have an open or high resistance.
