May or may not hear a vacuum leak.
Sicne your having problems at more then just idle. Id get those plugs checked purty quick.

BTW. MOTORCRAFT < Buy. Coil pack, wires, plugs (copper). Autolite copper plugs are good too. Other brands are known to fail much quicker.


Make sure the new plugs are gapped right. And double check your wires and make sure they are on the right plug-to-coil. Mix that up and its hell.


If these things dont work. Double check what work you have done.

Change the fuel filter while your at it

Then look into it being a IAC or MAF. Or Injector.

So i got a tune up done todat and the mech. said the plugs were def. messed up. I got those replaced along with the ignition cables but my car still has a bad idle and loss of power/shakes while in gear. I went back up to Advance and had em scan it again. They pulled up a p0352 ignition coil b primary/secondary circuit malfunction. I changed the coil yesterday after getting this code and it apparently did nothing. Could it just be a bad coil? I am gonna change it for another one but any other ideas guys? Thanks!!

I just left advanced and the guy tested my new and old coil neither were bad so he let me return the new one(thank god) he said my next call should be to Ford for the pcm and something about a computer reprogramming. I am seriously lost right now :/ and mike i am not sure how to post pics on a forum since i'm new at this
