I replaced the plugs and wires on my 2003 Ford Taurus. It starts, runs for 2 seconds, and then shuts right back down. I did the tune up because of an engine mis-fire on the 6th cyl. It was just a slight hesitation. I replaced the fuel filter and the coil pack about a month ago before this issue and no change, so plugs and wires were last on the list. I have checked all of the vacuum lines and all sensors that might have been moved in the process. Un-plugged the battery for an hour to reset anything, I have good fuel pressure and can hear the pump kick in when I turn the key, have gone through the theft lock procedures. My wiring for the plugs is correct and the gaps are perfect. All of the wires and plugs are tight. Please Help...I'm out of ideas
