Bad gas ?
Just purchased 2016 Allegro Bay V10 gas. RV has been sitting for a long time, very low mileage. Check engine light on, took it to a Ford dealer and they said it was a misfire on two cylinders, blamed...

I am going to tell you the story of a padlocked dealer (it may explain the padlock)
My wife had a Mercury Tracer (AKA Ford Escort with a new paint job) and since the FORD dealer was walking distance that's were I took it for a tune up. THey did half the job and it still ran rough so I ask 'em to diagnose
They diagnosed a leaking fuel pump (300 dollars) Visual inspection showed they caused the leak. no question in my highly trained mind on that issue.. Still ran rough
I wound up puttin new spark plug wires on .. Which THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE AS PART OF THE TUNE UP.. Ran like new.
Did I report them to DMV.. OF Course the inspector is a friend of mine and a fellow ham radio operator. His son was one of my Dispatches at State Police.
