2000 Explorer XLT 4.0 Cyl. 2 misfire issues

[mean_maverick]

our Explorer started this problem a few months ago and i have done just about everything to try diagnose and fix the issue with no luck. it does fine under normal driving around 50 mph and below but once it shifts into OD and the rpm's fall then there comes the problem. it will 'kick and buck' when under a strain at low rpm's. it's always on cylinder number 2 according to the trouble codes. the plugs, wires and ignition coil have all been changed. does any have any input for a solution? any help is greatly appreciated!

check injector on the problem cylinder

thanks. ill try that next. maybe even trade it with another one of the injectors and see if the problem follows the injector

You say it does it more after it shifts into OD. That doesn't sound like a fuel problem, but more like a plug wire or spark plug problem. Because it is doing it under a load. If it was an injector it would be there constantly. recheck you ires and pull the #2 plug and see what it looks like.

i agree with the wires
