Will I be able to scan / log my friends 1998 mercury grand marquis /4.6 L ?

He has cylinder misfires and after tune up we believe it to be bad coil pack/packs , I was hoping to pin down mis firing cylinders with my HPT scanner . Will this work ? I think it may but I'm not 100% sure .

 

Edit it's either a 98 or 99. Hell if I can remember lol.

 

Really depends. The scanner is a funny animal. Seen it work really well on a Toyota Camry of all things and then not at all on other random vehicles. Best shot is to just give it a try. However, to scan specific cylinders you will need to use a custom pid

 

Should work for you.

 

Fords have individual DTCs for each cylinder that's misfiring. Not need for customs PIDs. Hook up to it and try to pull the codes. Worst thing that'll happen is it won't work

 

Thanks guys , I hope my software doesn't get any STD s from this lowly ford lol.
