I have a 2010 escape that shaking and seems like the motor bogs down when put into drive. I have a cylinder 1 misfire code. I have changed [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-ford/), [fuel injectors](/topics-fuel-injector-ford/), compression is good. Egr valve was recently replaced. Motor mounts are good. I don’t know what could be causing this. Checked for vacuum leaks also. Mechanic's Assistant: Have you seen the misfire code before? Has the Ford been stalling? No and it doesn’t stall Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Escape yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes I am and I have done everything I stated before.

No difference have replaced coil and all plugs and just replace the injector for that cylinder
Automotive Expert
was the compression lower on that cylinder compared to the others?

It is
Automotive Expert
how much lower than the highest reading?

I'm about to check them all again now
Automotive Expert
ok. Ill be here.

1-100 2- 150 3- 140 4- 140
Automotive Expert

Through the spark plug hole?
Automotive Expert
yes, before screwing the gauge hose in

Ok doing it now
Automotive Expert
ok

Went up to 120 that time
Automotive Expert
ok, unfortunately, the oil rings on #1 piston are shot.

Well hell
Automotive Expert
are you testing it with the gas pedal to the floor and at least 5 engine rotations? are you testing it with the gas pedal to the floor and at least 5 engine rotations?

Rotations cause I pulled the fuse for fuel and fire so the motor won't startthe oil rings are allowing oil into the combustion chamber and not allowing the combustion to happen?
Automotive Expert
correct. you have low compression which is causing the air leaking past the oil rings lower end rebuild time.

Yeah not what I wanted lol
Automotive Expert
no one does. not even us guys who have been working on these things for many years.

Oh I have been doing it for awhile myself but had to reach out this one had me stumped
Automotive Expert
