    So , I went to visit a church that my hillbilly friend attends. The pastor was talking to me and said he could lay hands on me and cure me from all my aches and pains and make me whole again. I said , don't touch me , I'm on Social security disability !

    yes, but I don't think spark plug ceramic is as durable as carbide
    I could see that turning into flying shrapnel rather easily

    I did a 100 hour service on my 12 year old boat yesterday, fuel filters, oil filter, plugs, water pump and fired it up and it sounds like only 2 of the 3 cylinders are firing and the top two are nice and warm and the bottom is cool. I'm gonna pull the plugs, swap the order of them and see what if anything changes. They're ngk plugs. Then I'll get a new set of 3 and see if I just maybe got a bad one, that got dropped or something. Really hoping it's not coil or injector related.

    I'd say checking into the spark plugs is a good start assuming it was running fine before. Also, if that engine is carbed, the bottom carb could be clogged.

    It wasn't running fine before. It had sat before I bought it, so I drained and cleaned the fuel cell completely, replaced fuel lines into the water seperator, which was full of water and the primer bulb line into the motor. It's fuel injected as well.

    I pulled up next to something I didn't know existed, a four door Mustang...

    It is electric, the fellow said it was the fastest thing he had ever driven, which is just fine.

    Come on Ford, couldn't you think of something yourself rather than use the Mustang name?

    Lee Iacocca is thrashing in his grave right now. :rant:

    In that case I'd recommend starting with the basics. Spark and compression check. If those check out and swapping plugs around makes no difference look at the injectors. Being fuel injection means that you should also be able to have a marine service shop hook their computer to it aswell, assuming they have the stuff for Yamaha on their computer

    The electric part is alright providing the spirit of the name remains.

    The 4 door part is what made me ... sad, I guess is the best word.:(

    Perhaps Ford's worst faux pas since the Pinto based Mustang 2.
