In this video I walk through how I diagnosed a rough running Falcon and the issues I ran into along the way. The error code P0356 appeared on my diagnostic tool. From there it was all about eliminating everything until I found the source of what was causing the issue.

I'm not sure with the FG's however have you made sure that all the exhauist manifolds are tightned to spec. Also check the inlet manifold gasket and see if there is a leak

Sorry mate, I don’t have any experience with gas. Could it be with the wires?

Just got it fixed ...turns out the gas converter needs hot water thru it mine was cold so gas was freezing which inturn stalled the engine or surging also set the cam sensor off ... replaced cam sensor didn't fix it obviously...was there's a trans cooler was blocked no heat at heater and converter ....runs mint now

Definitly your problem will be solved when you change spark plugs 6 gaskets and 2 VCT valve gasket on rock cover and it will prevent leaking oil in spark plug well.Make sure to puchase rock cover gasket kit from Ford ,because aftemarket is not good and after short time rubber and seals will be hard and leakage in spark plug well will be again.Inatake gasket is from paper and usually they breake on clynder number 1 and if your idle were hight in park or neutral over 800rpm definitly vacum leakage is problem.Test for vacum leakage can be done from home made smoke detector easy to make or 1 metre hose you conect on brake buster and close trotle body hole with plastic gloves and buy one big cigaros and push smoke in true hose and if you have vacum leakage smoke will come out on damage part like gasket,O rings injector or other conection.Before changing rock cover gasket tray lock more top rock cover bolts and maybe you will prevent leakage on clynder number 1.2.3.

The problem was solved once the intake manifold gasket was changed.

IN THIS CASE A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY SWAPPING OUT THE COILS, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY OF CHECKING THEM.

@modaufygarage 3 ай бұрын

Yes, changing them was a waste but that's what happens sometimes. I did have a couple of spare ignition coils at home and I tried putting those in first. When there was no change that made me think it was the coils.
