I know the wire did not cause it to happen because I have magencor wires (luckily under warranty). It also did not throw a check engine light which was very weird. After much investigation and inspection I had to give in and take it to the dealer. They said cylinder 3 plug is shot and the plug wire is arching. Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with APP764's going bad? 98' Contour SVT lots of go fast mods check em out: http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gtg285m/

They said cylinder 3 plug is shot and the plug wire is arching. An arching wire would ruin a plug.
