Really need some sage advise/guidance on this particular issue....
Stats: 2006 H3 3.5L 84K miles
(girl friends) just bought 3+ weeks ago
We were on our way home and the truck started to loose power. It began to buck and stutter.
The CEL/MIL fired randomly and then went fully lit.
Coasting the truck it would be solid lit and then pulse when accelerating. There is seriously a bad shuttering and at 1/4 to 1/2 throttle it will drop to barely idle and come close to die'n....
We brought it home parked it in the driveway and ran diagnostics on it...(P0301 misfire cyc#1)
Note: She got gas last night on way home from work
Checked Oil (full and clean)
Checked Trans fluid (cleaned and topped off with Dexron VI)
Checked Antifreeze (cleaned and midway up overflow)
Took the air intake system off and the MAF, resonator assembly. (The TB,TBS, MAF and intake tubes were cleaned)
Disconected the Battery and removed 1st spark pack thru 5th...(Kept em in order they were taken out)
Removed the 1st spark plug and verified the spark plug had/has been firing (by color/look)
Went to Autozone and purchased all new spark plugs and a new COP for spark plug #1.
Replaced all sparks and COP #1
Recleaned MAF and installed all components as normal.
Reconnected battery.
Started engine and still surging, bucking and pulsating with reduced power. Engine is misfiring P0301.
Took MAF plug apart (i.e. weatherPac disassem.) cleaned with MAF spray and rebuilt.
Reconnected battery.
Started engine and still surging, bucking and pulsating with reduced power. Engine is misfiring P0301.
Truck ran fine all day till this issue began...
I'm wondering what would be the next logical step to take?
