Mine did that when I had my misfires. Turns out water got down in the sparkplug wells when I washed the engine. New plugs and new wires should do the trick.

Hey guys I just ordered another set of Ford 9mm racing wires for the Focus. For anyone who wants a set you can get them from Bill that Chicago Connecton. The phone number is 773-229-0655. He gets an A+++ in customer satisfaction. Great shipping and beats everyone elses price as far as I know.
I believe the Zetec wires are $34.95 and Duratec wires are $42.00 for the set. But call him for the latest prices. He's on the south side of Chicago if anyone wants to pick them up from him. He usually keeps some in stock, but I would call first to make sure he has them.
He's just as great in person as he is on the phone!!! 8)
F.Y.I. They come in Red, Blue or Yellow and are the 9mm wires.

No no on the bosch, this is a zetec engine, and a ford one at that. Use Autolite double platinums or Motorcraft OEM replacement. I would recommend the Autolites.

I wasn't sure if it I was looking for 2 or 3 digit codes but you can rearrange the numbers around...
From: 33, 55, 19, 33, 55, 19, 33, 23, 36, 33, 23, 36.
To: 335, 519, 335, 519, 332, 336, 332, 336
I'm not sure what the definitions mean and don't how to fix it.
Is there a site that I can find Ford Racing wires and accept PayPal? Oh, and what size wire 8mm or 9mm? Does it matter?
Edit: I almost forgot, I finally recieved my K&N filter and will be going to pick up 4 Autolite APP-5364 Spark plugs(is that right?)
Thanks guys!
