why do people even try spraying their engine with water like that? i use wet/damp rags and a toothbrush. complete *** pain, but i don't let it get very dirty in the first place.

Well I know better now! Anyways didn't have the time to check the coil plugs, but I was getting ready to put in some performance spark plugs, so I just ordered a set along with a new set of coil plugs. So hopefully after I get those in everything is back to normal.

Did you even check the sticky's? I hope you just paid $90 and bought a full set off egay if you bought eight.

The only thing that was wrong with your car was a couple bad boots and maybe 1-2 COP's.

Yeah I actually bought a set of 8 of stockers (100 bones) and also picked up a set of spark plugs from Ebay. My stang just hit 75K and the cop's and plugs have never been changed anyways, so I think its good to have all that junk swapped out anyways.

Ok so I finally got a chance the other day to put the the new coils and spark plugs in (there were two wells that still had water in them) and also changed the fuel filter while I was at it and the car is running good as new again (well except the sometimes stalling when coming to a stop issue I was having before).

So thanks to everyone who helped!
