Need help diagnosing a misfire on a 2001 Taurus with Duratec DOHC. I've replaced the plugs and wires. No check engine light. Cars starts fine and is driveable. Gas mileage unaffected. I will tether to a OBDII scanner this afternoon to see if it's publishing any codes.



Also, any remedy to cancel the auto-warping front brake disks? I've never owned a car that would warp rotors like this. After market rotors did not solve the problem.



Are the sedan and wagon sway bars the same diameter?



Can I retrofit my sedan with wagon rear disk brakes?

Running well, no CEL, economy good, I don't see a problem yet.

Ford rotors, adjust/modify brake bias more to rear. If ABS on board, there is a mod to drill out the proportioning valve for better rear bias.

Front yes, rear, maybe. SHO bars will fit front & rear of any sedan.

Yes. It's quite straight forward.
