Back home again
In Indiana.
Escape still gives us grief when warm- hot, actually. Works fine for the first two hours of operations which will let the wife safely drive it to work, but after a while it has misfiring issues. Will start tearing into it tomorrow night. Made it home tonight mostly on constant prayer, lord knows many a night the schoolbus made it home from some field trip on the power of prayer alone. Thanks for your thoughts. Now bed.
Welcome home.
Good to be home after that. Don’t know what to say about that Escape critter.
If you can’t find the problem after some troubleshooting, try replacing the crank sensor.
I chased a gremlin in my Jeep for a while – would run like a top till it got fully warmed up then occasionally it would misfire or just shut off completely and refuse to start for 5-10 minutes. Then it would run like a top again.
Glad you made it back home safely. My experience with modern cars (as opposed to those that I learned on) is that the spark plug wires have a finite life. Exceed that life and you will be blessed with intermittent misfires, and particularly misfire under load. YMMV but plug wires are cheap, mechanics are damned expensive. ($90.00 per hour here in S Florida)

No wires. COP.
Oh boy. Expensive and heat related. Has to be in the firing sequence somewhere. Get it warm and put it on a scope and you might find it.
Good luck on it. If you where here I could tell you a good shop, not so much there.
yeah, a pain in the ass. But I will be guided to find this, though it drive me bonkers.
