Might have to do that, cuz when I press the throttle down maybe 1/4 and hold it there while in O/D it starts to buck, like misfires.

I had problems like that everytime I washed my engine. (Had factory plug wires) I would have to pull each boot off and wipe it off and that would do the trick. It was wierd though because is only was a small amount of moisture.
Any ways good luck!

The IMRC's are located in your lower intake manifold
IMRC = Intake Manifold Runner Control They are basically butterfly valves in certian manifolds, I mostly know about the V6 models that have them, but certian cobra's and the new 3v 4.6's have them aswell. at low rpms these valves are closed so that the engine draws air primarily through the long runners, which increases low-end torque. at high rpms the valves open to allow airflow through both the short and long runners...
