misfire
Hi, I have a low end misfire. whenever I give it the gas it misses for the first few seconds. Been told it's probably a bad plug wire. I had already changed the plugs, made a difference for a couple of weeks but it came back. Is there a way to check the plug wires? maybe with a meter. could it be one of the coils? the car is a 96 mustang GT 4.6 v8. Thanks Kent

Re: misfire
Do you know how many miles you have on those wires? A fast and easy way to check for a leak in the wires is to check them in a dark area with the engine running, you may find a spark escaping from the boot area of the wire. The coil could also be a possibility, but I'd change the wires first. If you still have the problem after changing the wires, you can have your coils checked at autozone

Re: misfire
Take your volt meter and set it to the ohm setting, disconnect the plug wire, put the + on one end and the - on the other, check your reading and check the rest. If one is way off from the others you have a bad wire.
