Guest Baz bb Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Dear All I have gone to go out in the Gal this morning 2.3 Ghia X 1997 72,000 miles,when the engine started to play up. Under acceleration it felt like the engine was missing and when i managed to get home it would not rev cleanly at all. Also the MPG went down dramatically. The Gal was serviced by Ford some 300 miles ago. Any ideas?The Gal has been running fine. Many thanks to anyone who can offer some help or pointers for me where to look. Quote
Guest fredt Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Common cause of rough running on the 2.3 is the coil packs breaking down,its good place to start looking :) do a search on the topic, your not the first to have duff coil packs and you wont be the last! Quote

Sounds exactly like a duff coil (I had one on my V6 a few months ago). Quote
