2001 Ford Escape XLT Misfire, misfiring problem?
at 75k miles it would misfire only on days when it was raining or after sitting outside on rainy night. After many miles of dry weather driving it would run fine. It ran like this for about a month and it got where i could tell exactly what days it would misfire and for how long until it "dried out" and ran ok. I finally took it in & Mechanic (great place I always used with great results) check codes and got #5 misfire so they replaced plugs, wires, and "caps"? (the things on top of the plugs). It ran fine in all types of weather until recently at 85k miles after being in garage all night i drove about 10 miles on a very snowy and slushy day (snow was melting fast) and it started misfiring again exactly like before. 2 days later on dry day after sitting in garage it runs fine. I have moved 100 miles away from mechanic who worked on it before. Any good mechanics around Pueblo, Colorado anybody reccomends?
tin2mik... uh, duh
demonglory... thanks for tons of info, but that is way over my head might require me to run it through a translator (haha) i am going to give it a try though.. thanks
