So I start off for work this morning, and get to the first stop sign out of my neighborhood. All of a sudden, the ST starts idling very rough, shaking the whole truck. CEL also starts flashing. I take off from the stop, and the flashing CEL disappears. The truck runs roughly all the way into town, and the flashing CEL comes and goes intermittently. I stop at Advance Auto on the way into work to have them read the code. The engine is shaking at idle, it's running so rough. Anyway, the code turns out to be P305, "Cylinder 5 misfiring". :angry:
Now, up to this point, the truck hadn't been idling as smoothly as it should, but not anything serious. I figured that at 77,700 miles, it was just in need of plugs/wires, and I was just waiting until payday (ironic that the problem escalated today!) to order a set of Livewires from Zabteck. I'm still hoping that this problem is still just the plugs and wires, and a new set will fix it.
Any thoughts?:huh:
