Could this be spark plugs (I have 80,000 miles on it, original plugs - 01, so 3.5L)? Or does it sound like I have other problems brewing. I was afraid to drive it, as I was worried it might start misfiring in the middle of my 70 mile morning drive and I want to minimize damage. Just as an afterthought, I wonder if the outside temperature has anything to do with it. This morning it was 25 degrees F, while for the last few weeks it's been well above freezing. Any thoughts?
Have you added any gasoline anti-freeze recently.
