2024 XLT Misfire?

[Cosmic]

When I start up my 2024 Ranger XLT 2.3L and let it idle, at first it idles smoothly and then it sounds like it misfires. Not a backfire but as if a plug doesn't fire. It is relatively new only has about 600 miles on it and I don't know if it's still breaking in that is causing it, and I keep the automatic start stop turned off when driving. Sometimes when stopped at a light it will also do this. So I can't attribute it to the automatic start stop. Any ideas?

I’m glad you posted this because I have a 2024 XL STX and I have noticed mine has done this too a few times. I am pushing 20,000 miles and I’ve noticed it at intersections idling and thought it may be an idle adjustment needed, being too low.

To start with attach a scan tester and see if there are any miss fires recorded on a particular cylinder. Just to be sure that's what is happening.

Check the spark plugs? Bring to dealer?

Well I'm glad that I'm not the only one that it is happening to. I will definitely listen more extensively and when it happens again I will take it over to the dealership and have them check it out. I know I'm not imagining things.

I also have a 2024 2.3L that does this too. I have 1400 miles on mine. It feels like a misfire when cold start, that goes away once the truck is fully warmed up. But putting my truck in reverse and backing out of the driveway can cause it to surge.

I am keeping an eye on the coolant level, it doesn't seem to be changing.

If you bring it to the dealer can you post what they say? I am currently debating bringing it in.

Yes. I will definitely be posting reply when I take it. I listen very carefully to the way an engine runs and it just seems weird.
