Having the same problem. I'll post when I figure it out. Too cold outside to be troubleshooting.

I would check the fuel pressure. A lean run condition will cause detonation (ping) and a weak fuel pump can cause it to run lean. With this much mileage and with the gauge not working, I think I...

My experience with Standard parts is that they are garbage. Go with the Motorcraft part, especially with such an important and hard to replace part.

Re: '99 Rough idle/Misfire 2.5L
That's what I'm thinking- that the lifters are holding the valves open ever so slightly. The machinist said that all 4 exhaust valve seats were no good. He rebuilt the head with new seats all...

Re: 2.5l major issues please somebody help me :(
Anyone solve this problem yet? Some are suggesting that our misfire problem is being caused by a defective valve seat. Has anyone replaced the head on their truck?

Re: Idle fluctuates low
You need to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and then allow the ecm to relearn the idle over several drive cycles. I have found cleaning is temporary, it should be replaced
