Default Need help diagnosing my 2001 Mustang Bulllitt GT
stats: bought new in April 2001 - #621. Faithfully maintained at recommended intervals at Doug Stanley Ford. Now at 186,000 miles

only updgrades are : TriAx shifter
: Densecharger cold air instake (OEM intake is back on now)
: fr 17x9 w/Nitto 275s, rear 17x10.5 w/Nitto 315s

Now the engine stalls and hesitates, usually when moisture is in the atmosphere and ground. The first time it occurred was a while ago after I pressure-cleaned the engine, and let it air dry. Then it would just run very rough, like not all cylinders were firing.

The latest incident was today, after driving 2 hours in drizzle to east Texas. Now upon hard acceleration it hiccups and stumbles. Now i'm wondering if its a fuel filter. I cant remember the last time that was changed.

The spark plugs has never been changed. I got a set of champions from Five Star Ford but haven't done it yet, after looking at having to remove the COPs, throttle body, half the intake manifold to get to them, etc.
