The motor is all factory. It has approx. 130K. Recently replaced the upper intake manifold, the stock plastic piece-of-shit cracked. Long story short, I replaced the manifold and the car runs excellent...… BUT I have a" Check Engine Light" on. I put it on the scanner. It reads: Engine miss-fire on cylinder 2 and 8. No too lean or rich.... Just the miss-fire. like i said it runs excellent, I can not feel the miss. I can hear it a little throught the exhaust, but it has no loss of power???? I have checked the plugs, there good and replaced the coil packs, the code is still present. Not sure what is going on????? Suggestions will be a great help, thanks guys. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</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(2009,4,25,0,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> probably a vacuum leak <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>six 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 3153</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(2009,4,25,16,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by Blind:<br /><strong> probably a vacuum leak </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I think it might be also....
