Hey txgreasemonkey,
I hope all is well. I am sorry just now getting back to the forum. I changed the wires and bought Motorcraft wires and did all that you told me to do. I drove it about 10 miles and it missed a little going up a hill. The gas pedal is solid like I installed a spring underneath it. It is no longer squishy. It runs really really good just a little miss that day. The next day I started the car up and it soundled like it was going to go dead it was missing really bad at idle and then I shut the car off and started it again and it ran great that day just a little miss here and there nothing like before. I let it sit Monday and Tuesday I drove it and it didn't miss at all. Could I have put too much dielectric grease on the prongs of the sparkplugs. I am wondering also if it misses anymore could there be a hairline crack so small that we couldn't see it when we checked.
My brother Jeff R is the one that helps me also and you have helped him greatly. He recommended you to me. He doesn't trust many mechanics and has done all his work for the last 35 years or so. He trust you greatly.
We put in Motorcraft plugs 2000 miles or so ago. It stopped all the jerking and the Service Engine Light went out and ran great but a little miss.
I don't know if that little miss is gone for sure it has done this before ran good a day or two then started back up.
I found something and I don't know if it could be it. There is a pipe that looks like a snakeskin covering over it and it goes up to the EGR valve. It has two vacuum lines on it well before you get to the Valve. They go up to a device that has electrical wires coming out of it. Those vacuum lines especially one is real squishy. It doesn't have much clearance between the sides of the hose and I am wondering if it is collapsing.
My car runs better now than it did new except that little miss the first two days. I will know more today. I was shocked how much stronger the power is in it. It runs a million times better. I just hope that miss is gone.
God Bless You, and I hope you have a blessed week,
Your brother in Christ, Chris R.
