Have you checked your vacuum lines? I don't know anything about a 3.0 but maybe a line to a sensor cracked or you got water in a wire plug at a sensor? Or maybe a sensor went out because water got in it?

Re: Help?? half power and back firing
How old are the wires? Have you removed them since the first install at all? They can internally crack and cease functioning if removed and re-installed.

Ok. May have gotten water in either the cylinders or the fuel.
May have a bare wire somewhere and when water touched it, fried something.
Bad vacuum leak somewhere is more likely then the above.

My old explorer was doing something similar, turns out midas checked it and both my catalytic converters were clogged. It ran like new afterwards.
