I am now the proud owner of a used 2012 Ford Transit Connect XLT. This has been an experience of a lifetime, some parts of it not so good, and this is part of it. When I finally got my transit back from very bad people who I sent after it, a ten hour drive, one way, I noticed the engine misfired kinda bad. We pulled the coil packs and spark plugs out, and one of the plugs had oil on it. I go out and buy 4 new coil packs and 4 new spark plugs. At first, this seem to help the citation completely! Then I noticed it would run great while driving down the road, but missing a little while idling. Then after driving the transit the second time, it went right back to dying when stopping the vehicle, or trying to go forward, it would misfire terribly. The air conditioner would seem to have a lot to do with this. Can anyone please give me information about this? I’m almost thinking about calling it quits, because I was warned by a shade tree mechanic, my truck has a burned valve in it. Do you guys agree, or is there a cheaper route to take?
