Missing Problems

Kennhyy3 · October 10th, 2008, 04:08 PM

I have a 2002 v6 mustang, the problem i am having is the mustang is missing
when i first start out and at higher speeds it seems to go away. Hope someone can help. Thanks. P.S. I have new spark plugs and new MSD 8.5
plugs wires.

get the code read and see what cyl. it is, if it it 2 parallel cyl (1&4,2&5,3&6)
then it is the coil

Check the codes, nothing was showing.

plugs fouling up?,

check your wires, i put brand new wires on and two days later it burned on the EGR pipe. Also, your coil might be going bad.

I have a new K&N CAI. Replace spark plugs 4months ago. Maybe i well replace the coil
with a new one, thinking about scremin demon one. I will take a look at the plugs wires
also.

make sure u have the plug wires hooked up with the right plugs and coil. if u have crossed a wire it will cause the car to sound like its missing

did this happen AFTER you replaced the wires?
and what spark plugs
im almost sure you probably have the drivers side wires hooked up incorrectly

screaming demon requires different spark plug wires, so if your coil is going bad, id rather spend 60 on a new oem coil than 200 on screamin demon and new wires. Try seafoam too. Maybe your injector is clogged.

WLJohnson05 · October 11th, 2008, 03:09 PM

im willing to bet he crossed up a wire

Kennhyy3 · October 11th, 2008, 05:33 PM

Like i said early i am using the MSD 8.5 wires.

what we are asking is if u put on the wires in the right spots. its very easy to mix it up, especially on the driver side.

Kennhyy3 · October 11th, 2008, 07:23 PM

Took the old wires off one at a time. Then replace the MSD wires and started with the
longest wire to shortest wire. I hope that makes any sense.
