Re: 98 3.0 with p0306 code cylinder 6 missfire
No scanner will help. They don't tell you that the cam sync is installed 180 out on the camshaft. Scan tools assume everything is installed & connected properly.
Someone installed your cam sync with...

Re: 2000 3.0 FFV 2WD White Smoke and Rough Idle
For this discussion to proceed, we must assume your homebrewed fuel is equivalent to E85 and your Flex Fuel sensor is working properly.
Anyway, P0171 indicates Cyls 1,2,3 are running lean. P0174...

Re: 98 3.0 with p0306 code cylinder 6 missfire
Sometimes when a code is triggered, It logs some of the other params as freeze frame data. This can usually be seen on the scan tool. If you seem to be at a standstill, it would be worth giving us...

Re: 98 3.0 with p0306 code cylinder 6 missfire
The way the computer determines which cylinder has a misfire is by a combination of the cam sync sensor and the crank sensor.
The crank sensor is the more important sensor for this logic but the...

Re: p1071 and p1074
To properly test the fuel pressure, you should use a gage. It should read 60 t0 65 psi and when you turn the key off, it should not drop more than 5 psi after 1 minute.

P0171 & P0174 means whole engine running lean.
P1131 & P1151 means both O2 sensors are not responding (switching) from a lean condition.
P0102 means MAF signal low (dirty or ref voltage issues)...

Re: misfire on number 4 P304
It might be a good idea to do a leak down check. The "oil in the cylinder" test will indicate ring wear. A leak down check will identify if compression loss is due to rings, intake valve, or exhaust...

Re: need help please
Well, if you replace just the O2 sensor on the Passenger side and the P1131 remains, then you know it was not an O2 sensor problem. In other words, troubleshoot it for half price.

Re: Going to take on timing cover coolant leak, have questions.
It's worth a try.

But only if it's coming out the bolt head. If it's coming out the flange in that area then you would still need to replace the gasket.
