Issue After changing Spark plugs / Wires
Hey Guys,
so I have run into a bit of a issue after changing the plugs and wires on my ranger
v6 3.0
I changed the stock plugs after 150k for NGK plugs as well as NGK wires
as soon as I changed the plugs and wires the truck seems to idle great but under acceleration it goes rough then at cruising speed its fine I got a check engine light and pulled the codes i got p0301 which is cylinder 1 misfire I have checked and rechecked the wiring and plugs and they are tight and brand new I tried
I hear a hissing sound from the motor and I checked the vaccum and i notice it bounes from 14 to 17 I am not sure if that helps any
does anyone have any suggestions ?
thank you guys

Guys,
Thank you all for your input I eliminated the wires last night i put the stock one back on and still the same today i will pull out the plug for cylinder 1 and check it out I may just follow your advice and swap back to motorcraft plugs
ps just out of curiosity any particular reason why ngks or anything else other than motorcraft works ?
