Jerks when accelerating SolvedSolved

Ford Escape 2003  135000 miles
After a service was done to my car, it jerks when accelerating considerably. Every time it does so, the alternator light appears in the dashboard but it has no charging issues. The scanner registers a crankshaft's sensor failure. I've disconnected the exhaust, cleaned injectors, checked coils and hoses and even changed spark plugs but the problem is still there. Any help?

I have been told that by changing all the coils the problem should be solved. If the scanner detects which of the cylinders is having a coil failure you can then replace only the damaged ones. Tell me if I could help you please.

I personally believe that your problem is that your car has not been washed with a carburetor cleaner when the tune was made.

I had your same problem and the cause ended up being an ignition coil. Once it was detected which was the damaged coil with the code errors in the dashboard, it was replaced and the problem was solved.

Jerks while driving SolvedSolved

Ford Escape 2004  180000 miles
I have a Ford Escape 3.0 v6 2004 and my problem is that, at idle speed, the engine trembles as with small jerks and the battery dashboard light flikers when a failure is presented. The jerks appear when driving at a speed of around 40-45 mph. I've already changed the alternator, spark plugs, checked the ignition coil and cleaned the injectors. What might be happening? Thanks for your help.

The problem has been solved. The vehicle was scanned and code errors P0316 and P0306 appeared, indicating a misfire in the cylinder 6. This cylinder's coil was failing, so it was replaced and the original problem disappeared. The engine is now working perfectly.

Engine jerking

Ford Escape 2003 ford wagon v6 3.0L 231000 miles
I have ford escape 2003 v6 3.0L. While i was moving the car the engine will jerk. Previously there was a problem with the battery light flashing and had changed the alternator and the problem of the battery light was resolved. But the jerking problem is not solved. I already changed the spark plug but i found there was a bit oil licking on spark plug part. Is that the cause of the problem or is there another problem?

SYNC 1 Update

Ford Escape 2016  82000 miles
My 2016 Ford Escape SE is equipped with first generation SYNC- meaning no navigation system, touchscreen capability, OR automatic wifi updates and the system has begun acting glitchy. Turning off Bluetooth when no one has touched a thing. Or dropping the connection to my android when it was connected just fine 5 min ago. It probably needs to update is my guess , but I can't afford to take it to Ford dealership at the moment.
It's running the 5.8 version and I found a 5.14 update on the Internet. BUT "I found it on the Internet" sounds like another way of saying "OOPS" so you might understand my hesitation.
Im trying to find alternative strategies to debug system. Ideas?
