1998 Ford Mustang V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic 150k miles

I have replaced the coil pack and spark plugs and wires also the MAF sensor
the car ran great for several days till the misfire came back, origionally there was a p1131 and code for #2 misfire, Now even with the maf unplugged it still shudders I checked the fuel pressure and it stayed at 32 pounds running at idle
Thanks in advance for your help

Ok so have you checked that injector? The P1131 is lean code related to an O2 sensor or PCM or vacuum leak or? So if you would unplug injector number 2 and ohm it get back to me with what it ohms out at and what scale you checked it on. Thanks.

Its running great at the momement, last night I pulled #2 plug and checked it it wasnt fouled and looked good,
there was a bad pcv hose I replaced, check engine light is still on, it will run good for a day or two then start back to the misfire, I will check the injector when it starts to run bad again

Ok sounds good. As for the engine light it will stay on untill the codes are cleared. So call around to your local parts stores and find one that will do a free scan. Scan it and note the codes then clear them. If the light comes back on the recheck it. Let me know how it goes.

Turned out to be the oxgen sensor, The "check engine" light hasnt come back on but only have 20 miles on it since the o2 sensor was replaced, I will update if it isnt the problem, I can tell a difference in the way it runs
