Re: 99 Navigator missing at idle .... ideas?

My guess is that the sparkplugs are original ...... so perhaps that is the first place to start? Should I use OEM plugs from Lincoln or is there a good after market brand?

Are there any other ignition or fuel delivery factors that I should look at while trying to eliminate the engine miss?

Thanks ...... Rob


I had the same problem at idle and when running, went to advance to put it on the machine, said spark plug #1 misfire, replaced plug ran ok for 30 minutes , went back next day same reading, I then replaced the wire going to that plug and it fixed the problem!
