Engine Performance problem
2001 Mercury Cougar 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140xxx miles

Firts, car was shaking and throwing engine code for the 3rd cylinder. replaced wires and plugs, now car shakes a lot and misfires still. even after replacement. possibly worse. when i turn the a/c on, the car shakes so bad it feels like a vibrating chair, also squeaks but only with a/c on. car is not overheating, and check engine light/code went away. should note that there is a oil leak from valve cover. thanks!

hi did you confirm that the wires were in the right order when you reinstalled them, I can send you the firing order for your car if you send me your email address
