Only been a couple weeks, if that, and only one tank of gas, about ready to fill later this week, see what the 3rd & 4th COPS replacement did for me.. Last fill I was at 13.2 mpg...

Anyway, for the first time in a while, we did a 100+ mile run to the Sacramento area, and back over the weekend... In the process, naturally, I'm watching for misfires.. and I found a few, not so easily repeated, difficult in fact, but I do feel them.. Only at the lugging, lockup, 1200 rpm area... At this point, only 4 possibles, very tempted to jump on a set on eBay, swap the last 4 myself...

It looks like I can get them (Motorcraft) cheaper than my mech can, and it's down to 3, 6, 7, 8, where 8 will be the hardest to reach, 4 was tight, but he did 1, 2, 4, 5 already... So I'd have 4 spares, toss 'em on the shelf for some future need..

Normal driving, I'm not noticing it, so I'm curious to see what the mileage is doing... Maybe I'm over sensitized...
