Well...I've got a 93 2.3L Mustang Coupe and all was fine all day long. Had a load of errands to run all over town so I was on the go for pretty much the entire day and she was running fine. Then I make one last stop (after running on the interstate for about 5-6 miles to avoid road construction) and as I pull in I notice she's "knocking" like there is a spark plug wire loose or something. I will be going back out after she cools down a bit more, but preliminary inspection did not reveal a wire loose or anything. Just wondering if anyone else has had something similar happen to them or has any idea what it could be? When I drive and give her gas, she seems fine. It's just when she is idling that I notice the "knocking" and sometimes, if I give her gas in park she seems like she wants to die. PLEASE tell me it's just a wire...

You sure it wasn't just ticking?
