I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer. I am having problems with it.... Rough start and when in gear... say at a stop light.. it is idling high.I also just had to change 1 of the coil packs. It was missing really bad but not anymore. Any ideas as to what could be causing it to drag out starting and when I say idling high I should have said it revs up while.idling in gear. i have not noticed it do that while idling in park. I did leave it in park idling while I ate lunch so I say approximately 15 with the heat on and I never noticed it reving.

The idle is controlled by the computer

So any vacuum leaks & the computer is
trying to correct for a lean fuel condition

You may also have several bad cop ignition
coils

My question to you is----you just had a coil or some type
of work done

Why was the truck not properly diagnosed,road tested &
component tested all at one time

That is what I do,until every part of the entire powertrain
is 100%,all data perfect & all driveability issues gone --I stay
with it,once & done

With that I say some shop don't do well or even like fords

The injector could definitely trigger a misfire code, but you also mentioned that you had a mass airflow sensor code , that code code be responsible for te sluggish moment of the vehicle and rpm going up and down. However if you have a misfire onCyl#6 and the coil and the plug is good the ONLY other thing to cause a mis-fire would be the injector. To check the injector get a NOID light, you can get one at almost any auto-parts place. To use unplug injector plug from the bad injector and connect it to NOID light the light should have a steady PULSE/ligt flickering. If light flickers fine then injector is bad and will need to be replaced. If light doesn't flicker or flickers intermittently then you may have a bad wiring to that injector. Check if wiring is good, then you may have a bad cam sensor or sensor gear. Good Luck and contact if you need more help. Thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: rough idle P0300

a faulty MAF will not cause a P0300, just a severe loss of power, look for injector, ignition and intake vacuum leaks as your causes.

I have a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer that runs perfect while in park or while driving. When stopped or put in reverse it shakes and stalls.

Is the check engine light on? Mountaineers are bad about developing vacuum leaks which will lean the engine out and cause it to stumble at idle while in gear. Check for p0171 and p0174 codes.

My headlights on my 2000 Mercury Mountaineer don't work. It's not the fuse. What could it be?

Check to see if your high beams work, also play with the combination switch that controls the headlights, it is typical for it to wear out and cause these problems.

2000 mountaineer idles rough while waiting for

If you have the check engine light on, rent a scanner, read out the code(s), and pursue to repairs. Possible problems are: idle air valve, vacuum leak (hoses and loose bolts) on intake manifold, EGR valve defective or not properly controlled, PCV valve defective, sticky injectors, bad plugs/wiring, O2 sensor, ect.. Use the scan codes to replace parts--don't just start swapping parts till it works.
