Hello all,
I have 98 GT and have been struggling with a studder upon moderate to heavy acceleration for the past week or two(only drove it twice after the problem showed up). I finnaly got some plugs and wires and started replacing. I used a small flashlight to check in the cylinders to see if there is anything out of the ordinary, and when I got to #4, I noticed the plug was wet and there was a puddle of coolent in the cylinder. I attached a picture of the plug just incase anyone has input on how it looks.. Im tring to decide my next move. From what I can tell, this could just be an intake manifold gasket leak. What is the best way to make sure that its not a head gasket or cracked manifold? I didnt notice any rough idle or overheating when the car was running. Thanks for the info!
