Hi Folks,
I just pruchased a 2002 Tauras with the 24 valve enging. The car has 36.650 mi. At idle, the cars feels like it has a bad plug and misses and you can feel the car stumbling but keeps running. As soon as I excellerate, the car runs great.
Sure would love to be able to trouble shoot this my self with any help from you listers would be Great !!
Regards,
Rob Roy

Thank you Dr. for your reply to my post. I have opened up the hood and listened for a vaccum leak while engine running and can't here any air sucking sounds.
Where would you suggest I start looking / listening for a vaccum leak?
Thank You very much for your help Dr.
