Mystery Missing?

I have a 1995 3.0 with 145,000 miles on it. At times it runs great, other times It lugs like crap. It misses sputters and feels like its running on 4 cyls. If I shut it of for awhile it may go back to running great (but It might not). Sometimes it runs great all day? Not just so so but great.

I have had It tuned up, changed filters, changed fuel types, etc. still Its a off and on? Any suggestions?

check your plugs and wires.
put in some injector cleaner.
take it to the garage and have it hooked up to diagnostics.
If it's something major you'll thank yourself for catching it now and not getting stuck with a hefty engine replacement bill like I have

Truly,
Brad

Well, I have had it looked at a few times. But tune ups and all, is just not getting it. The problem is not continueous. I would think if it were the plugs or wires it would miss all the time? Well thanks anyway.

If you have a DIS I would suggest checking or replacing the coil pack.

A DIS? Is that the electronic ignition? Can you explain a little more?
