AI REASONING
PROBABLE CAUSES - RANKED BY LIKELIHOOD
CAUSE #1
Ignition Coil Failure
78% probability
Repair This Week
Coyote 5.0 has known coil-on-plug failures at 80-100k. Swap coil to adjacent cylinder - if misfire follows, coil confirmed.
CAUSE #2
Fouled Spark Plugs
55% probability
Repair This Week
OEM plugs at 94k are overdue. Carbon fouling on Coyote engines common with extended change intervals.
CAUSE #3
Fuel Injector Deposit
28% probability
Monitor
GDI deposits on intake valves restrict flow. Check fuel trims - if long-term exceeds +8%, injector cleaning warranted.
