I have a 1999 Ford Taurus and for the most part it runs fine...plenty of power and decent gas mileage.

However, it will occassionally miss at idle and really miss/bog down if you mash the gas down...but then it catches up and takes off.

If you press the gas down slowly though, it won't miss and will take off fine.

It's almost like it's running too rich or something.

What do you think this may be? Bad timing? Bad plugs? Bad Wires? Or something more serious?

(Please don't say "it's a Ford"... I know this...)
The car has 120,000 miles on it
As long as I've owned it I have not changed the plugs or wires...
Could be the culprit...
