2002 taurus. Hard to start when cold. Previously had a problem with no heat. Replaced tstat and temp send unit. Heat now works, but there is a problem when starting. Just replaced the spark plugs, but it didn't help. Also around 3500rpm the engine starts to miss-fire. Sounds like a timing issue, but there is no round distributor. Help please!
Do you
