How many miles? Have the plugs and plug wires been changed? 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6

If I was parallel parking, going from d to r would cause a real rough engine. Turned out to be a leaky o-ring on the throttle body and two vacuum lines under the intake manifold had come in contact and frayed, causing an air leak.
