For those of you that have experienced this, what were the symptoms? I think mine might be on its way out. If I am cruising around the car is fine but once I get on it it will start to sputter as if possibly that car is not getting enough fuel. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SilverLX351</b> <br /><small>Member # 3207</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,4,22,20,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I have just noticed they get pretty loud usually before they die... How old are the plugs, wires and cap+rotor?

I need to throw in new plugs. The reason why I put on new plug wires and so on, was because my other plug wires had a burn spot on like 2 of the plug wires. Only other thing I could do next is to install new plugs. After that I will be stumped! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,4,24,8,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> When was the last time you replaced your fuel filter? Unless you just replaced within the last couple of months it I would do that before messing with anything else.<br /><br />If that doesn't do the trick then you can try hooking up a fuel pressure guage and monitor your fuel pressure as you are driving. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
