This topic was about the V6 Duratec, but I imagine the same applies to the Mondy 2.0 Zetec. Go ahead and start your own topic, it will be easier to keep track of, and you will get better answers.

So in response to your question.. probably should have been the first group of things you should have replaced. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

Most likely...I replaced my plugs once with the brand new coil and they foiled again. I took the coil back under warranty and am now running a brand new one in my 3L, with new plugs, and the old magnacores. voltage seems fine..so i guess its off to getting new plugs..i have autolites in at the moment so which ones should I go with now? anyone? #0009

That's a famous brand, hope it runs perfectly afterwards! Use some silcone grease on the plug boots and make sure your socket wrench is clean, to avoid misfires.

We just recently rebuilt the engine.. it has almost 2k on it now.. ran perfectly on the way there.. only random issue I ever had prior was a high idle at times.. New Ford Racing wires New Autolite Double Plats You think I should swap the coilpack? it is the original but I do have a spare from a cougar I bought for spare parts. Also, we didn't replace the fuel filter.. umm, who the hell knows how old that could be. I kept thinking that I got bad gas ... as the only thing I did once we got to my parents house was fill the tank prior to parking it.. I added 1/2 tank of premimum from a pump that was rusty and I thought perhaps I might have been the only person who used premimum in like.. forever. In the 3 hour trip we misfired 2 times pretty badly where the tach went down to about 500 rpm's while attempting to go 60 mph.. and then about 4 other smaller misfires.. It sat all day yesterday.. I tried to take it to the pet store and immediately it started misfiring again pretty badly.. Mine seems to misfire bad on a cold engine but lessen when warm.. ideas? thanks in advance.. I really love this car and it kills me that its again sitting in my driveway not being driven Crispy 99 Cougar - Arancio Atlas/Grey Graphite Pearl Custom Widebody 98 CSVT - Silver Frost #4014/6535 - Born 10/21/97 98 CSVT - Silver Frost #4085/6535 - Born 11/10/97 See My Rides
