[QUOTE="MathieuG89, post: 1422366, member: 21740"] Replaced the sparkplugs with genuine Motorcraft plugs from Ford. Haven't got around to check them yet but that's on my list along with a compression test as soon as the weather clears up over here. Small update : Yesterday I had no choice but to take my car to get to work, fortunately it isn't too far away. The car felt ok-ish until I got to a red light, same thing happened, idle progressively worsened. Light turned green and I made it to work. One of my friend told me I could've had a bad batch of gas when I last fueled and there could be humidity in the fuel tank, he recommended I put gas line from Kleen-Flo. Why not give it a try? When I left work, I opened the gas cap and it felt like there was a lot of pressure build up behind and it immediately had a strong puff of fuel odor coming out, didn't think much of it and dumped the whole bottle in. Started the car and drove back home. Surprisingly the car felt normal, I even went on a small segment of the highway with it and it accelerated normally up to 60 mph... when I made it back home I left the engine running for a solid 5 minutes and everything seemed normal to me... the idle wasn't all that great and could use some tuning but it didn't feel like it was misfiring or anything anymore...
