[QUOTE="Little J's 5.4, post: 2918275, member: 36685"] The electrical is more of a problem as your car gets newer. If there is not enough oomph in the battery the spark will be smaller and the car will act fuel starved. This is something I have seen with a 94+. It may be possible for an older car. I am not as familiar with the 5.0's as I am with the 4.6L's. Still, it can happen. With problems I like to start with the obvious stuff like the battery and alternator. I would check the battery, then start here and check the battery terminals and make sure that there is at least 13 volts when the engine is running... Then inspect the distributor, plugs, sensors, fuel injectors and the timing chain... [/QUOTE]
