Hi,
First post here!
I have a 2003 Discovery with 57,000 miles. Two days ago it started running quite rough. It feels like it is mis-firing when trying to maintain a constant speed and much lower power when accelerating. The check engine light also alternates from flashing to a steady on.
I ordered a code reader which should be delivered today.
From what I've been able to find on this forum, I believe the first thing I should do is change the plugs and plug wires. If that seems to be the recommendation, can anyone point me to some tips for doing so? This is my only vehicle, so before beginning, I want to make sure I have whatever tools I may need on hand. Looking under the hood, it looks to be a pain in $#@!
Thanks
Tracy
