If so, borrowing fiance's hair dryer and applying hot air to ignition and engine wiring (including coil pack) and ensuring spark plug recesses are free of water seems a place to start. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km

Helped for a couple days the the miss returned. Today the mechanic said that two plugs were cracked and that my wires, although new, were defective. So buying those again too. If it happens again, I'll be sure its the coil pack. 1998 ContourLX V6 ATX Cats Gutted+MIL Eliminators Grandma gave me the finger
