95 2.3 with approx 400k on it. random misfire. it will be moving, both cruising and accelerating but never at idle. the first time I thought the injectors had sprayed water. but it only lasts a split second. i am not sure if it is just one cylinder missing or one whole revolution. have since changed the fuel filter. no lights or codes are showing up. each time it happens, it seems like the motor shut off then fires again and it feels like the rear axle is going to come loose. have no clue where to start looking for a solution. i started to replace the motor with a 96 with 89k but got hung up at changing the front seal; the crank gear won't budge and noone has the special puller for it, ford included.
