Hello and thank you for maintaining this site.
I am currently trying to trouble shoot some issues with my wife's 2001 Sport.
Just lately, after turning 100k, it has begun stalling at low idle infrequently but every so often. It also hesitates a little when turni g it over, also randomly and not every time.
Just this week Ibalso noticed a very distinct valve tap while driving during acceleration and the truck felt like it was straining to get up and go.
I recently checked all the fluids and air filter and besides needing an oil change everything was fine.
I tried to check the plugs but they seem to be frozen and stuck so I did not want to crack one trying to getvit out.
I also noticed that at least lne of the six appears to be blocked from getting to it in the engine compartment.
Any advice on what I can do to find out what is going on and fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
