Proper new plugs, rebuilt all injectors. Smoke test shows only a slight vacuum leak at the EGR valve diaphragm, steady 14 # vacuum gauge, no engine codes, fuel trims okay, spark test of COP's cold running with no load, okay. But steady street driving at twenty five to forty five mph, feels like a very slight erratic missing engine. Idles well, at highway speeds cannot tell. Fuel mileage is low by about two miles per gallon city and highway and there is some perceived lack of normal engine power and acceleration in comparison with my other 1999 Town Car. Tested and swapped coils on plugs but no luck. Compression test dry and wet compared well, although a few pounds less than the 1999 Town Car which has 135,000 miles. Why can I not find the slight miss, lack of power and low fuel mileage? Thank you for any suggestion.
