I've noticed lately that my Contour is running a little rougher than it has in the past and is a little noisier with less power, especially when accelerating. It also takes longer to warm up in colder weather than before. I've had the exhaust system checked and everything is fine there.

Next weekend I'm going to change out the air filter element, PCV valve, fuel filter, and thermostat which are all overdue for replacement. I replaced the plugs with Motorcraft Platinum OEM's at 60,000 miles and I'm going to install new wires soon. I'm at 92,000 miles now. Does anyone have any other suggestions I might try?
