Believe it or not buying more expensive spark plugs WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY MORE POWER. Its a gimmick to sell plugs, just replace your original spark plugs with what came out of it. Unless you go with forced induction to where you might need a specialty plug because of cumbustion chamber temps. Other than than OEM Motocraft.

Ill have to go and get my Computer scanned and hopefully its just a fouled spark plug. I will check out the Autolite and Motorcraft plugs while I'm there. I think it is my #2 cylinder wire that got burned, but who knows. Thanks guys for the help

Is the wire discolored? Like white spots on it? Is the insolation burned? cracked?..if any of the above..get some wires.

It's an isolation burn on the #2 wire where it was touching the tube coming from the exhaust manifold to the EGR (I think) on the front of the engine. I am pretty sure they need replacing. I am just hoping its nothing more than that and a fouled plug.
