Hey yall,New member, but I've already read through the forums to solve a few issues.
I just bought my first ranger and think I may have ended up with a lemon. When I test drove it I thought it just had a vacuum leak. Not much power and a rough idle. I found the leak and got it fixed but still have the same symptoms. So I thought it may have be one of the cat converters stopped up. Had the muffler shop run the codes before they reeplaced one and it is showing a misfire and cylinder 6, and a code for the EGR. I replaced the plugs and wires ( went with motorcraft after using this forum again) but still the same thing. Ran seafoam hrough the fuel tank and vacuum lines thinking maybe the misfire was a bad injector, and the EGR maybe just the line. No success there eithe.r I just pulled the plug outta 6, and also 5 to compare it to, but I don't really know what I'm looking at. My father in law says the EGR is fine and the misfire is the cause of the bad idle. So I figured Id upload these pictures of the plugs and maybe yall could help me on where I need to go next.
I have a huge interest in trucks and am starting school to be a mechanic in the fall, but for now I'm ignorant as all hell.
Thanks,
Jake
The number 6 plug is on the left in the pictures.
