Kinda hard to have issues doing a mod that doesn't actually change anything. Daniel I think you may have crossed two plug wires, the dual plug 2.3 & 2.5s are odd because they will run fairly good with two wires crossed but will miss for just a second under acceleration. I learned this when I first got may truck which was when Chilton was selling manuals for the ranger with the wrong firing order for the 2.3/2.3.
