A low battery can result in low spark and running bad.
Charge up the battery and try again.

See if one cylinder worse then others, by removing wire, one at a time, with an insulator.
Switch the wire, plug, and injector from bad cylinder with good one.
If still the same, check compression.
If not, replace wire, plugl, or injector that is bad.

You could still have systemic problem like intake manifold leak.
Try listening for hissing by using a lenght of hose to hear through.

    One possibility is back pressure from a partially plugged catalytic convertor.

    If that is the case, then it will be better at low RPM, and worse at high.



    A popping sound could also be pre-ignition, such as low octane gasoline.

    With a turbo you need to always run premium.

    The turbo increases the compression ratio, and it will ignite just from the compression, just like a diesel.

Cab heater will not run cool when idling, but is OK when at speed.

Some cars have a vacume check valve on the vacume line that
activates the air duct to open and close . If the vacume is not right
it will not work properly . If the vacume check valve is ok then check
and make sure the heater core is not clogged up

1997 Aerostar 4 liter engine has miss on several cylinders. New wires and plugs. Miss is intermintent. Usually worse under load. At times van runs fine.

check for vacume leaks on intake and other vacume hoses. random misfire is also usually a clogged fuel filter or pressure regulator. could also be a cam or knock sensor. are their any trouble codes.

Stuck in 4 wheel drive and wont come out.

hey there i cant tell you what you are missing but i can tell you how to disengage the front wheels . ok you have a vacum line that runs right under the battery and a line that comes up from the front diff. to the same place ( you may have to remove batt and batt tray to get full access to this) un bolt it and temporaly put batt and batt tray back in start it up and decompress this and see if it comes out .... you should here clunking noise if it goes back in ... if thats the case just pull that big vaccum line off .... to test get all four tires off the ground and have some one put it in drive but dont hit the gas it should turn on its own ...if that dont work check the cable that runs down to the differental

4 wheel drive won't work

There is a vacum powered actuator on the front differential housing on the passenger side. It gets it's vacum from two valves mounted on the firewall just behind the battery(to left). The white line feeds manifold vacum to the valves. Check for vacum at white line with engine running. If no vacum there is a break in line from manifold. If vacum check the pink and blue lines by applying vacum to each one. The vacum should hold. If not check lines from valves to vacum actuator. Most likely it will be the actuator. If both lines hold vacum check valves. Remove electrical connectors from both valves. Connect a wire from one of the terminals of the valve to ground. Touch a wire from the battery + to the other terminal of the valve. Listen for a clicking sound. If no sound valve is bad. Replace valves(s). If this doesn't lead you to the trouble it's probably a mechanical problem inside the differential. However most likely there would other noises.
