Well,
Since you just got the car anyways, I would change the plugs and wires. Autolites 25. As you take each of the old ones out, check the gaps to see if they are ok.
Is there a chance that you knocked one of the wires off when you changed the oil?
The last time I changed my plugs...one of the wires was not seated all the way down and it did this.
Let us know.

When I had a misfiring plug, it would be choppy under load until about 3k RPM or so, and then it would take off like nothing was wrong. So like RC said, that would be a good first place to look...

Kyle, check out Action Auto? Action Performance? over near US1 on International. They have some Ford Motorsports wires there for around $45. Don't get any wires from discount... I did that and ended up bringing them back that day because they were "universal fit" wires 
The FMS wires arent the best, but I havent had any problems with the ones I have (just have to cut them a little if you want them to fit right because they are too long) but most on here don't like them.

MSD parts are decent. The color of the cap will match your car too 
I wanted one but didn't have the money at the time.

Since you mention that, also wouldnt hurt to clean the MAF and sensor, and check the O2's on the pipes.Nagash01WS6 said:
I just recently changed my 02's, and I believe that most of our cars should have had them changed at least once by now...
But start with the plugs/wires first, since you'll want to tune it anyways!

I would check for a vacuum leak too. My car would sputter in the low RPM range and die after a while if I just had it idling in the driveway.

Ahhhhhh, right behind you at 107k. LOL. I think they might be the cause of my pinging problem. Oh wait, I just spent close to a grand on parts. I guess it must be the 87 cotane I can barely afford.
Just went over $2 for the cheap stuff here in Chicago.

Hey now, i've got 105, no pinging at 14* and gas is 1.79 down here on the south side!Numbles said:Ahhhhhh, right behind you at 107k. LOL. I think they might be the cause of my pinging problem. Oh wait, I just spent close to a grand on parts. I guess it must be the 87 cotane I can barely afford.
although... it's still hurtin big time
Zach and Numbles, When you do the power adders and start messing with the A/F ratios, you are likely to F,,,, up the O2's. I think that's what happened to me!

Nagash01WS6, I think after this it will be running smooth with no problems.
94Blue302GT, Im in Lincoln Park and they dont lower prices over here at any time of the year. Where are you filling up because I will drive to the South side for that price lol.

Kyle, you should take the car to OSW tomorrow and test it out
RC, I know I need some new O2's, I even said so I kept saying "OK, after I buy this I'm getting new O2 sensors." Well exhaust came and no O2's, intake came and no O2's, rims came and no O2, intake came and still no O2's and this was the point where I was like I REALLY NEED the O2's, then heads/cam came and still no O2's lol and now turbos... I dont think I'll ever get new O2 sensors
