I posed this question about a month ago but milk, a three year old, and computers don't go together well. I have a stock 1996 4.6 that is giving me fits with an intermittent cutout problem. I have replaced the spark plugs, coils, fuel filter, and air filter all at the same time. The spark plugs on the drivers bank of the engine were worn out and the plugs on the passenger bank were fine. The plug wires have 50k on them and look new still. The car misses on acceleration, and when cruising it misses on any gas pedal pressure until I let off on it. At idle, it stutters but does not stall. There is no play in the needle on the tach while it is missing, which I thought seemed odd but maybe the miss isn't electrical. I have noticed a burning smell when opening the door and getting out of the car and it seems this smell is coming from the center of the car, but it doesn't smell like sulfur. The trans shifts and runs fine so I'm sure it is not a bad trans. Also, when the car is started after sitting overnight, it starts but is slow to idle up, like it doesn't want to run but then catches and idles fine. Sometimes when starting it there is a small pop sound from under the hood, and the car doesn't start, but starts right up on the next attempt and the pop sound is audible inside the car. Also, this vehicle has 150k on it. Anyone have any idea's?
