ok my cars pissin me off. im hoping the hesitation at 3k rpm + is from my sparkplugs but even though i have the ford "quality care" warranty ( which is kinda shady if ya ask me) spark plugs arent covered. they wanted 275 to do them so i told them id pass on it.. anyone know where to get it done i know its not worth 275 for how easy they are. by the way its a 99 cobra.

Oh BTW, you may want to replace the wires too.....it could be a faulty plug wire.

hey well i replaced the plugs myself with bosch platinum 4v. i found when looking at the motor from the front the far back left plug was curoded due to water leaking in. some dumb ass at ford must have taken the plate that covers them off and when he put it back on the coil wires plug to seal wasnt on right. alro i noticed the spring was all rusted on the inside of that rubber piece that goes down. anyone know what that is so i can buy a new one? it amazes me how shifty fords work is sometimes!
