The best ideea is to scan your Engine Control Module (ECM) with a diagnosis scantool connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) of the car. You will find definitely the engine fault code - "P...." and the clear description of the error(s). Also you can try to erase this error(s) from the Engine Control Module (ECM) memory. If errors are "sporadic" type you certain have permission to erase them, also for some kinds of "static" errors.
If you don't have any diagnosis tool, you can also try something else. For check up if the engine have a proper turn, you can successively disconnect each spark plug coil from the engine wiring system, engine idle, car stationary. When you operating this you must be free of chassis ground (battery ground)!!! When you disconnect a spark plug coil and the engine speed (rpm) drops, that means this coil works properly. When one coil disconnected and engine speed (rpm) still remain unaltered, this coil (or spark plug) is out of order. First you can change only the spark plug and check up again. If no changes the coil is defective and must be replaced!
My recommendation is first to change all spark plugs on the engine, and after that check up coils.

FORD 2.8L V6 Engine runs fine however it runs to cool.I can put my hand on top of the radiator cap after running and its cool any ideas

Sometimes when a thermostat comes apart it can either plug the water passages or float out of position. If the loose parts get into the heads single cylinders could get hot. There are inexpensive thermal lasers which can be pointed at water passages or exhaust ports and a temperature reading can be obtained.

It is also possible that the cooling fans can be stuck on and that a relay is bad. A bit hard to believe your radiator would still be that cold.

You could have a bad temperature sensor for the fan, some cars have 2 with one operating the dash and the other is for the engine controls.

04 dodge neon showing P0325 and P0340 codes at same time.

Code 0325 is for a Knock sensor. Code 0340 is for the Cam sensor #1 if this is an engine with 2 heads and it is an indication of a single sensor on single head engines.

So if you do have a multiple hed engine, you may have removed the good sensor and left the bad sensor in the other head.

Remember to wipe the computer memory after installing new parts.

Which 1.9 motor from saturn is better single over head or dual over headcam

you can not just change the engine you would need to change the transmission and the computer the front exhaust pipe but if you are willing do do it anyway the signal cam engines had a problem with the cylinder heads cracking and the dual cam is common for oil leaks

My 96 jetta is really loud and vibrates bad

The cam shaft sensor operates the speed and spark of the engine without it work properly the car will shake and will not run good. It will run rough and will hesitate and may even cause more damage if continued to operate in this state. Cam sensors are not expensive anyhow anywher from $50 to $150 good luck
