Motorcraft only, Rangers have allergic reactions to anything else. Change it yesterday.

Can't promise it will, but that needs to be done anyway with that amount of miles. It's at a critical point if you've been hearing a chirp you can't pinpoint.

How do you know you had a misfire? A bad misfire will make the CEL flash. A misfire will also set off a "pending" code. You pulled a lean bank 1(p0171) code.

You should, change the airfilter, check air intake for leaks cracks, check for vacuum leaks, clean MAF, change fuel filter. Check frequently for pending codes. Report back.
