As some of you know, my EL has spent almost 6 weeks at Ford. I've had it back for a while now and ever since they've played with it, it misses at idle. The idle speed seems ok. Plugs are new. Any ideas?

My EL's had the same problem ever since Ford played with it. They replaced the head and head gasket and the cars never been the same again.

I've just learned to live with the fact that it'll never idle 100% again. Bugger Ford!

Cars never been back to them either. The created more problems than it started with.

The workshop manual says:
1. Defective coil,rotor,ignition wiring or spark plugs
2. Valve clearance set too tight
Worn camshaft lobe(s)

Perform a manifod vacuum or compression test to determine which mechanical component of the engine is at fault.
