P0316 FORD focus

Question

what could be p0316 mean

Answer 1

P0316 is a misfire detection code. This code basically is saying there is a misfire in the engine. Possible causes for this code would range anywhere from the crank position sensor to a bad ignition coil, spark plugs, intake leaks, and the fuelk injectors. This is really a catch all code, the ignition system should be tested first and go from there.
