yeah what he said, but i'd checkthe iac too, clean the thottle body and if you have a multi metre check the leads are ok.
can't say for sure it's one of these but they generally need doing on most cars anyway, so it can't hurt (unless you hurt yourself doing it, which you probably won't)

If it smells fuelly, then it would be getting fuel, just not igniting it so it would be more electrical. Is this the same car that recently had trouble with the ignition module? If it isn't, I'd be looking at that, or possibly coil.
yeah its the same car that had the problem with the ignition module.so the plugs or leads yas wreckon.if its electrical what else would it be.
ok well changed me plugs ran all right for a bit then i gave it a boot full then its back to running ruff again like it was the first time.anyone have ideas.cheers gav
sounds like TPS issue, check for error codes
ok how do ya check the codes.
it smells really fuely aswell after run it for abit,still running ruff (coughing and splatting) i dont know what it is ive checked the leads they are good.anyone got ideas.cheers gav
have you any access to diagnostics?now can you refresh my memory,it's a 5.0L right? carby or injection?
injected 5 litre.and nah i dont have any access to diagnostics.
ok.....well you can do a self disagnostic,if your confident enough,pull the plug from your ECU,now i'd say they would be the same(V6),you bridge A & B turn ignition on,but watch engine light as you do so,the light will flash a certain # of times if there is a fault,now i'm not in workshop, so i'm pretty useless to you at the moment,for code #'s i know that 12 is normal
- - -(A)
- - -(B) bridge these 2
- - -
- - - this is what your plug layout should look like
you haven't run it dry at anytime recently?....check fuel filter...fuel pump,the pump might be a bit dicky and actually pumping more fuel than it is suppose to
ok which plug ive got 2 plugs
ok...one should be connected to ECU and one shouldn't be...am i correct for your 5.0L ? if so, i'd imagine it is the same(V6) use the one thats not connected to any thing.
also slowly coming back to me with out code chart....#43 is ECU up the puck,which does not actually always mean this,but thats the code given for a dicky ECU
hey guys pulled my injectors out of my 5 litre and the tops of of the injectors are full of sludge and crap.thats why i think my car is running ruff.does anyone know how i could clean them or where i could get them done.cheers

There are also mobs that do it mobile soo they com to u, saves u havint to get car to workshop.
Or if u can get a hold of a ultra sonic cleaner that will do tha same job as them
