[mattch2]

guys i took my car out of storage last week for a drive.. I was out for about 40 mins or so and I gave it against a buddy of mine..... now a week later(today) i bring the car back out again to go for a cruise and it sounds kinda rough when it idles... it kinda revs down and sounds like its going to stall but doesnt but its hard to explain but it sounds like a chain rattles??.... when i drive it from first to second it seems very rough and doesnt have any pep to it and it is just not sounding right... I have an O/R H on there if ti makes a differnec but my service engine like keeps flickering on and off??..

If I can have any idea what it may be id really appreciate it

get an obdII scanner and pull the code or codes and post them on here if you can , autozone will pull the codes for free if you can drive it.

well I guess the #1 cylinder is misfiring........ could that be because of a bad plug perhaps? is that pretty much all of it you think and its not bad i guess as far as $$$$$$$ to fix if its a plug.. what else could it be and what would be the worst case scenario?

 

[mattch2]

If I chaneg all my plugs what stepes do i need in order to do it? do i need grease of some sort to apply the plug itself and what about the gap that I hear about??? if I order them from ford will they be automatically right to fit in the car...sorry I have no clue on mechanics! as you can probably tell !!!

if the car sat for a long time and the tank was low, there might have been some condensation in the tank and you would then have water in the gas, which could mess things up. but if you drove it 40 minutes the week before and everything was fine, i doubt it is the gas.

check the spark plug wires and make sure they are firmly attached and there are no frays or cuts.
