2013 ecoboost misfire
Hey all!
Ive got a problem im not sure needs addressing. 2013 ecoboost, with 50000 miles, misfires when started... every time. Can be cold, hot, engine warm, engine not warm. It only does it for a couple seconds, and then stops, doesn't misfire again, runs great after the fact. Any ideas?

Ok so I’m going to do the plugs tomorrow then, any suggestions on type I should get? And anything to look for to make sure I have no issues that the spark plugs may show? Tips on actually changing them, I’ve done spark plugs on a couple other fords, an expedition, a Ford Fusion, and they all seemed pretty straightforward

Get the ford plugs. Torque them appropriately (10ft lbs ?) as they are easy to crack. The red clips that lock the connections onto the top of the spark plug boots break easily so take care when removing them.

Finished the plugs yesterday, took about an hour and a half, it does start quicker and it’s a little more powerful, little spike in gas mileage. The misfiring at start didn’t go away though, so I’m going to chock it up as normal and accept the regular benefits of changing the spark plugs. The old plugs were completely black anyway, and they were gapped between .035 and .045, so they needed changing.
