Triton Stutter

Hello, Just bought a 01 E350 with 93k. Ran great during short check ride. On way home it developed a stutter with small increase in throttle pressure when at most speeds once in high gear. Turned off overdrive and stutter wasn't noticeable, but I think it was still there. Floor it and it scoots. I'm not familiar with the Triton. Most of my Fords are 96 and older. Where should I start?

Started with the plugs. They were correct part and though worn had less than .054 gap spec. Since the plugs were out we replaced. Found forward right cylinder was culprit when warm. Boot had signs of moisture. Cleaned reinstalled and miss is gone.

Is there a gasket running through the spark plug bore or does moisture have to enter around the coil boot?

you just have to use quite a bit of dielectric grease inside the boots of the cop's and the moisture will stay out. but good thing you caught the moisture inside there. moisture isnt good to have inside the cop/boots
