How many miles are on the spark plugs? Have you been keeping up with preventative maintenance?

You should swap them out for Motorcraft plugs next time. The MAF sensor could be dirty as well if you have not cleaned it already.

Get the Bosch plugs out RIGHT NOW before they disintegrate and cause damage! Use only Motorcraft in these engines....................

ok sorry took a lil long. changed the plugs to motorcraft and all i can say is what a difference!! The engine idles so much smoother seems to have brought it back to life. Didnt know bosch would do alot of harm to these engines.
