I have a 1998 Ranger 3.0 V6 auto with 191K miles. About 75% of the time that I fire it up, cylinder 1 misfires until about one minute passes. When I drive it around for a while, turn it off for 10 minutes, and turn it back on, it again misfires for about a minute. I know it's cylinder 1 because once in a while the OBD reports it.
I've installed a new injector and a new set of plugs. I replaced the spark plug wires about 15k miles ago.
Since it misfires only on start-up, and with any engine temperature, I suspect something electrical.
Any ideas?
