Urgent: Car studder
I cleaned out all of the igntion wires that go to the ignition modules.. and
I cleaned the ignition module connecting parts where the wires plug into. I changed the spark plugs (NGK Iridium). The studder is still there. Studder on acceleration that is. Please advise. Thanks. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors |

Tell me this... how does it run with the Motorcraft double plats it was designed with/for? You know, a lot of earlier fords did not take well to the Bosch Plats when they came out. My SVO would start to have a no-load miss after using them about a week. Dont discount this weird effect. > Nope. No codes.. > > -Mike > >> >> No codes? > > |

*cry* I _had_ NGK Iridium plugs in it... I put in Bosch double plat. plugs
in b/c the O'Reilly sales droid recommended them. I also put dielectric grease (aka spark plug boot grease??) in the boots on the driver's side 4 boots (experimenting). Should I clean that crap out of the boots as best as I can?? -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors "Backyard Mechanic" > wrote in message ... > > Tell me this... how does it run with the Motorcraft double plats it was > designed with/for? > > You know, a lot of earlier fords did not take well to the Bosch Plats when > they came out.

Okay... if it DOEs seem to be an ignition problem... dont get freaking
confused. Are you saying it's even worse? Or the same? I doubt the problem is the dielectric grease unless it's contaminated,... but it may be if it's cheap stuff. If contaminated you cant clean it up, sufficiently Quit trying to get better performance with the "magic plug"... my point about the Bosch is that they were SH!t in my and several other fords I knew of. Several people on here swore by them, but I tried them twice and removed a third set from a car I bought, all because of missing. No other changes.. and problems went away Your car came with Motorcraft Double Plats and that's what you need to go back to... and maybe new wires/boots. opined in . com: > *cry* I _had_ NGK Iridium plugs in it...

I just put in new wires/boots. I'll switch back to Ford Motorcraft double
plat's & see if that helps/fixes it. Thanks, BM. I've heard that Bosch sucked & that Bosch was the way to go.... so I figured I'd take a chance & see if they worked. I wasn't looking for any performance increase at all... I was looking for stability. Obviously not to be found in Bosch products for me. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors "Backyard Mechanic" > wrote in message ... > Okay... if it DOEs seem to be an ignition problem... dont get freaking > confused. > > Are you saying it's even worse?

I replaced the plugs with Ford Motorcraft OEM plugs (plat's)... stutter is
still there. Not as bad, but still there. I'm thinking the di-electric grease screwed things... but I don't know, since the stutter was there before the di-electric grease. Is there really any advantage to using MSD ignition products over the stock versions? -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors > wrote in message . com... > I cleaned out all of the igntion wires that go to the ignition modules.. and > I cleaned the ignition module connecting parts where the wires plug into.
