ok....95 f150. has the 4.9 4x4 with a manual trans...just yesterday i noticed one heck of a miss on my baby...before it ran like a top. its got me scratching my head. it has new taylor wires,autolite plugs, msd blaster coil, accell cap and rotor, and has a 12 deg. timing bump. up until recently it ran dang good, but now it has a rough sputter in its idle. it used to idle around 8-900rpm now its like 4-500. i have no clue what is going on. i am going to run a compression test on it this weekend. any help/advice would be a major help on this one guys...im in the weeds.

Check the timing...it's possible that the timing chain needs replaced.

since mine is the 4.9, it has no chain. it is completley gear driven.
