Thank all Y'all very much. And the reason i did not check my plugs is because they had like less than 50 miles on them. BUT i guess they was bad. i am gonna take them back to autozone tomorrow. get my money back out of those motorcraft platnum plugs. lol

do a compression test on the cylinders that are fouled..if the compression is good you may have the valve stem seals breaking down , and this is gonna happen again.seals are cheep if you use the umbrella type ,the better one are the vitron spring style . but I think you need the valve guide machined for them..

Thats not that bad of an idea. But the thing was rite when i put those (50 mile) new plugs in it started doing it AS soon as i hit like 45 or so. So they still didnt have a chance to be fouled yet i dont believe. Its a great bronco. Heck, i paid 400 bucks for it and other than that messing up its been great. and it obviously still runs like a champ because i have never ran it that hard till yesterday. and it still seemed like it had plenty more power even sitting at about 100. and this is the C6 3 speed. lol. So if it does need new valves i am gonna go ahead and and have the heads ported and polished also....

heck, i will go ahead and do that also. There is no point in me replacing the WHOLE ignition system and not that pick up. lol. so im still gonna go buy the dist. off that donor van for just in case purposes.
