Car is acting up again... When u push on the gas it changes sound and stutters. Sounds sort of hollow, cant really explain, but the power def. isnt there. It idels very rough and shakes, the power gauge bounces. I decided to check the spark plugs. 5 of them are ok. but 3 of them arent. the seem to have some kind of liquid on them.... 1 is white (firing hot or lean right?) and they seem to have rust on them... ![[Confused]](confused.gif) . This is really weird.. how could this have happened. I didnt drive my car for a few days, then i go to drive it and its fucked up... im pretty pissed off! Thnx in advance for the help.

check the hoses from the airfilter back to the MAF and beyond. Sounds like what happened to us when we blew the throttle hose to shreds at the track.

the air intake hoses that connects to your air filter and Mass Air Meter and then goes to your throttle check to see if one popped off. Sounds like your car is running really rich. Does black smoke come out of the exhaust when you rev it?

The white plug is running lean.. might be an injector problem on that one..
Did you make any changes to the car anytime before this started?

nope thats the thing... it was running fine, didnt drive for 2 days, then went to drive it and now its like this.... but now that i think about it i think it started doin it a while ago. like if i floor it it would stutter for a sec, but then go... now it does it all the time... weird...

i don't see how you can't have them if your fuel injected.
The routing for the air to go into your throttle that big black hose check it to see if it came loose or something.

Ok so what was the last mod you did to your car? Normally when I see these strange problem (especially sudden change in idle) it is because of a vacuum leak, either caused by a parts swap or a hose came off.

none, just started it. There was like shit on the spark plugs, can anyone explain that? I just replaced them, it was idling fine, so i took it out for a drive, then it started doing it again, i think i might just take it to ford to have them check it out, but since my car is modded im worried that they might say its because of some of my mods? even tho ive had these all on here for a long time and now it just started doing it.

have them just tell you whats wrong with it and then fix it yourself.
P.S. i was talking about the main hose not the little hoses that come off the main intake hose.

Sounds like you might have a clogged fuel injector and/or a clogged fuel filter. What was the last time you changed your fuel filter.
