4.0 OHV misfire AGAIN *HELP*

check engine light is on. running lean on bank one and bank two. i think thats the MAF. but i also have a misfire on #4, changed the plug. pulled the wire off the coil pack and it seems to be getting fire. i can crank it up then it runs smooth, then misfires then runs fine and goes back and fourth pretty quick.

soooo get a MAF? idle air control? plugs and wires?

im for sure taking the stupid K&N air intake off. i think its causing problems.

k&n parts go thru extensive testing to guarantee no interference with factory parts and that they will not void oem warranty

Any luck on fixing your truck?

I am having the same problem with mine. Threw codes for misfire and coil pack. I changed the coil pack and coil pack connector. Still throwing code for #4 misfire. going to plugs and wires next. I don't think it will be the fix.
