So I was driving around in my field and noticed that the truck had trouble getting above 2500 rpms. It ran fine below that that. I was driving along and then it suddenly bogged down. It would not start after. When I got it in my garage it would start and run fine for 2 seconds then it would die. I eventually got it to run but the throttle response was very poor and would not rev above 2500 rpms. When I drove it I had to bring the rpms up very high just to get it moving. When I got back to my garage it started running really rough and eventually died. Now it will not start. I checked the wires going into the coil pack and there is 12 volts going to the terminal closest to the firwall. I checked the resistance with an ohm meter by the specs in my haynes manual and all that is good. However the spark is almost reddish yellow. Should that give at least some fire or none at all? Would a coil pack from a 1995 windstar with a 3.8 motor work with my 1994 4.0? I do know it is getting fuel because when I cranked it over with the spark plug out gas was shooting out. Thanks.
