Hi all,
First post!
My father in law gave us his '97 Mountaineer which has picked up a miss. So I did the 'ol look under the hood at night trick to check for a plug wire short.
To my suprise most the entire length of the #4 plug wire was glowing / crawling with electricity! I've never seen such a thing (it looked rather cool, actually - almost like science fiction).
Is it safe to assume a new set of plug wires is the answer? Should I be looking into anything else? Money is very tight for our family right now so I don't want to be replacing parts unnecessarily.
Thanks!
Eric
