Cars missfiring on cylinder # 1making
it run really bad, sounds like a vw bus.
I changed the spark plug wires, plugs,
coilpack, and fuel filter and nothing
has changed!

Maybe antifreeze is leaking into that cylinder. I had that problem and did all those things. Eventually had head gasket replacement which stopped the miss and loss of antifreeze. I have a 2000 Taurus.
