I have a buddy with '99 Contour with same problems...gonna go see him tomorrow and use advice found here. Added problem is that his is a Contour which is both gas and propane fired. He bought it from the State after they used a fleet of them for a couple years, I guess. Anyone see any additional problems because of this? Anyone have any previous experience with these cars? Thanks much!

anywho back on topic, I recieved my coilpack today. Put it in hoping it would fix the missfire and what not. It didnt, Im pretty much at a loss now. Only thing that comes to my mind are my new Magnecore wires being sh!t..I know im not the only one having this problem, I remember Rick (bucksot77) posting about him having random missfires and what not, he too was running Magnecores. My friend and fellow CEG'r Tony (csvt1214) is also having this missfire problem, he too has newly acquired Magnecores..Now what do I do? I threw away my old stock wires after keeping them for 2 months thinking nothing would happen and a week late all this. Now where do I go? Could these really be faulty Magnecore wires?

I'd go to RockAuto or over to Autozone and pick up new wires to be sure. Like it was stated, you are not the first to replace OEM wires with the magnecore set and have problems. I would get the motorcraft wire set from Rock Auto personally, unless you need it same-day, then I would try the Duralast from AutoZone. I have the Duralast from autozone on my 99se, and there is no misfire, but I often wonder if it would run any better with performance wires or not.

Don't blame the magnacores, yet!
I am running them in my 3L.
I had them on my 2.5L when the misfire started. I switched back to my 9mm FMS wires and the misfire was still there.
Get a voltometer and test the wires yourself. If you have a manual for your car there is an explanation of how to test your wires!
Try this!
