Missfire with no code!
my 2006 f150 with the 5.4 has a misfire at low rpms and under a load only. i took it to the dealer and they performed an injector pressure test and said it was good, however the problem is still there. there is no code present now, when it first started there was a p0302, missfire of the number 2 cylinder. that code never came back after the dealer worked on it. any ideas?
Try swapping coils between #2 and another cylinder...see if the miss changes in character or throws a misfire code for another cylinder.

Have you replaced the PCV yet? Check all of the hoses for cracks and pin holes. If replacing the PCV, use ONLY Motorcraft and nothing else or expect miss fires. Uncoded miss fires are generally a PCV issue.

Where exactly is he PVC valve, drivers side or passenger, I see hoses on both sides, or is it right on the intake manifold on the drivers side, not on the valve cover? Also replaced all my coils about 6 months ago with the accel units, got rid of all my misfire codes, bought off amazon for about $220 for all 8.
